"Behind the Music" Is Back, Sort Of
Remember VH1's "Behind the Music? Of course! It was a hugely entertaining show about rock stars which actually confirmed all the cliches about rock stars while managing to add a few more cliches about them at the same time.
That they drank (oceans). Inhaled (pounds.) Had sex (with millions). And that was just for starters. Bands, naturally, clamored to be profiled. It was narrated by Jim Forbes. Here's a bit of trivia that is so trivial that it's almost sub-trivial: His middle name is "Jude," and during the first season, he went by the name of James Jude, so - I imagine - the subjects of the show could address him thusly: "Hey Jude."
Oh yes, I forgot why I was writing this post. Sorry. VH1 is bringing back the show for ten episodes this year. Hollywood Reporter has the story. No date on re-launch. Original series ran from '97 to '06.
