Part 2 of my conversation with filmmaker Eric Green as we discuss his documentary about V66, the short-lived Boston music video channel. I've also got the Bonehead of the Week and music from Mission of Burma, David Byrne and St. Vincent, Metric and Ceremony. Show notes: - Recorded in Cambridge, Mass. - Eric's documentary is called Life on the V - V66 was on the air from 2/85 to 9/86 - Response to the topic has been great - Doc is almost finished - Music docs are in vogue - Rumors that MTV was keeping an eye on V66 - Eric resisted the classic Behind the Music structure - V66 was based in Worcester, Mass.; bands would visit before concerts there - 9-year-old Eric got on the air with a phoned-in joke - Cable TV was much different in the '80s; still hadn't made it to many rural areas - Memories of USA Network's Night Flight video show - Music docs: Stop Making Sense vs. The Last Waltz - When V66 played Dire Straits' "Money for Nothing" video, they took MTV logo out - Eric received a lot of fan submi
