Because traffic was so bad tonight in the NYC area I missed THE moment of the Video Music Awards (though just saw the replay). The 50 Cent pimp/prostitute segment was a tad disturbing, of course, along with Beyonce and others who performed in ways sure to keep family groups going for another year, but Johnny Cash lost to Justin Timberlake? And to Missy Elliott? And…and…and…I guess that’s MTV though? As a sidenote: Rich, you’ll be happy to know Duran Duran won a lifetime achievement award. (BACKGROUND: The boss caught me with a Duran Duran tape years ago and has never forgotten it.) Many of you are on much firmer ground when it comes to MTV issues, but since it was on in the background here (I’ve already adopted Lowry’s bad habits!), I thought something insignificant might as well appear in The Corner before the morning shows get to do it first.
