Did you know that Milli Vanili was in the middle of "Girl You Know It's True" when the pre-recorded tape they were lip-syncing to started skipping?
Girl you know its
Girl you know its

You get the point. I had no idea that the 1990 Best New Artist Grammy Award Winners were outed during a show until Behind The Music came along in the Summer of 1997.
Behind the Music is an hour long narrated account of an musical artist(s) rise to fame. Often, that fame will parlay itself into drunk driving arrests, prostitutes, hard drugs/overdoses, gun shot wounds and the occasional bubble gum pop star turned cage dancing vixen.
After a three year hiatus, the show is back on the air and still delivers. I highly advise watching Bobby Brown's beginnings with New Edition. A new episode airs October 1 chronicling the life and times of Poison rocker/man whore Bret Michaels.
I'm always asking people what they think the best occupation of all-time is. I hear athlete and actor often and there are cases to be made for each. But the best all-time job is professional musician. The window to hit home runs or pitch shutouts is open for a very brief time only but the window for music is always open. Examine Paul McCartney for instance:
1. He is still dropping albums.
2. He picked up a model after leaving that one-legged disaster.
3. He continues to sell out venues all across the universe.
4. He is 236 years old and will be rocking until his early 300s
The only thing McCartney is missing is his own episode of Behind the Music.
