“I watch countless videos of bands playing on YouTube, the performances run the gamut from awful to transformative, but none have the bizarre appeal of this video. The unique strangeness is what keeps me coming back,” writes donetodeath

In 1996 I was a chubby teenager in suburban Atlanta. Neck deep in punk rock and hardcore, fighting the man in my own small ways. Not a boy, not yet a man. Like most kids my age in that era, I watched quite a lot of television. Everything from Seinfeld and ER to The Real World Miami, House of Style, and Singled Out. But those lost hours after high school, the mid-afternoon, was when television was the most interesting. The networks aired a plethora of tabloid talk shows.
But what really made Jones stand out, particularly to a music-obsessed teenager, was her penchant for booking musical guests, especially since none of her peers had them. She gave a daytime platform to people like Usher, Ludacris, Chubby Checker, Nelly, and Three 6 Mafia, who made their first national TV appearance on the show. The final live performance of my beloved Dinosaur Jr. before their first 1997 break-up was a performance of “Out There” on the show earlier that year.
