Although this new issue of CREEM is probably dated May or June, please believe us that through the magic of real time, it is really early January as we sit here, writing the first Video Video column of the new year. And, as such, it behooves us to take a step back from the fray so as to reflect upon the video annum just concluded. Can we sum up all of our rock video experiences for 1086 in just one page of a magazine and still do the medium any ■stice? Well, considering how bad most of the videos were last yfar, we probably can sum just ajx>ut everything up in one Hmple word—namely, B-O-R-lNj-G—but we do still wish to give ■e medium the justice it so richly deserves. Which means, ot course, that it’s time to roll out ■e list of (fanfare, maestro) Video Video Achievement Awards for 1986. The satellite d sh, please!
