AMONG THE VDEODROMEDARIES: NEAR THE SAHARA OF THE BOZART

Metal videos seem to be pop-ping up on my tube more frequently this week than they have for several months, or maybe I'm just getting more skilled on the ol' cable box. Punching off MTV into USA's Radio 1990 usually guarantees something a little bit different, and now that the latter series has instituted its "Heavy Metal Wednesday" theme shows, I know I can count on at least one half hour of metal yids per week.

AMONG THE VDEODROMEDARIES: NEAR THE SAHARA OF THE BOZART

Richard Riegel

Metal videos seem to be pop-ping up on my tube more frequently this week than they have for several months, or maybe I'm just getting more skilled on the ol' cable box. Punching off MTV into USA's Radio 1990 usually guarantees something a little bit different, and now that the latter series has instituted its "Heavy Metal Wednesday" theme shows, I know I can count on at least one half hour of metal yids per week.

Since I last reported on Radio 1990. the show has changed to a co-hostess format. Founder and all-around grande-dame-of-t he-rockcrits Lisa Robinson has con-tinued her enshrined practice of fawning over her "good friends" Mick Jagger and Jimmy Page at least six times every week, but

she's turned the more prosaic reporting duties over to one Kathryn Kinley. The freckled-bosomed Ms. Kinley is almost as glossily robotic as those generic anchorpersons on Entertainment Tonight, but at least she just reads her teleprompter lines.
