Hi folks!
I am pleased to announce that I've just completed Part 1 of Episode 3 of "Play That Rock'n'Roll", and I feel this is a good episode to help start a conversation about what happens to certain bands when the achieve (or are trying to achieve) pop success. Does pop success threaten artistic credibility / integrity? What does it actually mean to "sell out"? Well, I try to answer that in my latest video, "The Top 5 Sell-Outs of the 1980s".
Here's PART 01:

Part 2 should be online Monday evening. I'll be out of town today so I can't complete it.
You can check out the rest of the series on this page.
"Play That Rock'n'Roll" is going on hiatus after this. I'm returning to my original series "B-Movie Roll-Out" for the rest of the year, but I may revisit this series sometime over the Summer. Either way, feel free to comment on either the subject matter or the video production itself. All is very helpful to me -- especially if it is constructive criticism. Thanks!
