In the ’80’s, Saturdays were a time of recovery from the antics of a Friday night. Sudden & sustained movements were not encouraged and were rewarded with great pain. Often the best remedy was lying motionless on the couch, with MuchMusic providing the soundtrack to getting prepared for Saturday night. The same prescription was followed at other times I found myself in the same predicament.
MuchMusic was the Canadian equivalent to MTV, a video show that highlighted many great Canadian musicians. Here’s a little playlist of some of the Canadian artists that were on MuchMusic at the time. There were numerous VJs at MuchMusic over the years, but these are the ones I best remember; they unknowingly helped me survive myself in that decade. Thank you!
