The 12 Days Of Classic Nickelodeon

While in search for something to post for today I came across a song that I had written back in 2009 when I was making my Classic Nickelodeon Songbook and thought it was seasonally appropriate for today’s post. This is, of course, set to the “12 Days of Christmas” song but with an 80’s Nickelodeon twist. Hope you enjoy it.

Classic Nick Wed. – Nick Rocks: Video To Go

January 9, 2013

Nickelodeon’s answer to MTV came in the form of Nick Rocks Video To Go! Joe from Chicago hosted this half hour video show began airing in 1982 and ran until 1989 and featured pop and rock music videos. Veteran television composer Edd Kalehoff wrote the show’s theme song.

>>>From Wikipedia<<<

"Joe from Chicago" was / is really Joseph R. Piasek, formerly the director of programming and news of New York's WPIX-FM and currently on the faculty of New York University and SUNY Delhi.

Joe wrote and voiced Nick Rocks, which was produced by Andy Bamberger, for Nickelodeon. Joe was an original member of Nickelodeon's 1984 on-air launch team and remained a voice producer, writer, director, and consultant throughout most of Nickelodeon's (and Nick at Nite's) formative years, producing, scheduling, writing and performing the networks' "voiceover credits" and top-of-the-hour "pronouncements."

He has done similar work for Viacom's VH-1 and TNN. Joe's doctoral thesis chronicles Nickelodeon's childhood in the context of organizational learning. His earlier exploits in radio are revealed in Paul Colford's book "King of All Media: Howard Stern." Piasek is a co-founder and manager of WIOX radio in the Catskill Mountains, a wildly diverse, live, community radio station at 91.3FM in Roxbury (NY) and wioxradio.org.

Nick Jr. Rocks was a spin-off of Nick Rocks, a 30 minute Nickelodeon program that consisted of popular music videos. This program aired on Nick Jr. and was geared toward a younger audience.

Adam Ant Sectioned Under Mental Health Act

I’m sure that you’re all wondering why I’m posting a blog about Adam Ant under a Nickelodeon fan blog. I’m posting it b/c Nickelodeon had a program called “Nick Rocks Video To Go” where they use to show 80’s videos and they use to show Adam’s videos.

I’m also posting it b/c Nickelodeon also had a program called “Special Delivery” which aired a music concert called “Adam & The Ants: The Prince Charming Revue”. So God be with Adam.

Adam Ant Sectioned Under Mental Health Act Days After Screaming Abuse At Christians
By Daily Mail Reporter

Last updated at 12:27 AM on 21st May 2010

Eighties pop star Adam Ant has been sectioned under the Mental Health Act, it was claimed this evening.

It follows a series of troubled public appearances, including a concert last week where he unleashed a tirade of abuse at Christians during a charity gig.

According to The Music Fix (TMF) website, Adam Ant sent a message to fans which said he had been admitted to hospital.

It read: 'Ant fans - please send me postcards at the Chelsea & Westminster Hospital, Fulham Road. Please don't come down here as it may upset the staff who have been really pleasant.

'I am having a well earned rest at Her Majesty's Pleasure and am painting and continuing being an art student. I have a great view and am considering gigs later in the year.'

The 55-year-old popstar has a troubled history and has a history of depression.

The Antmusic singer announced earlier this year he would go back on the road for the sake of his 12-year-old daughter Lily.

But his return was marred last week with an odd performance in Portsmouth.

On May 11, Adam, real name Stuart Goddard, was due to play a 30-minute set at the Oasis Centre to raise money for starving children in the Phillipines.

During the show, he invited a four-year-old boy up on stage and began to teach him the words to The Who's My Generation.

And when the frustrated crowd started to leave, he began screaming obscenities at them.

He even asked if there were any Christians in the room, and then told them to 'f**k off'.

Goddard was then booed off the stage before twins - who he referred to as 'his nieces' - Alex and Naomi Hewston, 22, got into a fight with promoter Nick Courtney's son Sam backstage.

He then returned to London on Saturday to perform with his live band at Paper Dresstival.

According to an Adam & The Ants fansite, Goddard, who has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, was sectioned after an incident on Tuesday evening.

In 2002, he threatened drinkers at a North London pub with an imitation pistol, but escaped a jail term on the grounds of mental illness.

And he was sectioned in September 2003 after a dispute with a neighbour where he threatened to smash in his patio doors with a shovel and was found lying naked in a cafe basement.

When he announced his comeback just weeks ago he told reporters that he had learned to live with manic depression.

The illness has caused him to be admit himself to hospital on several occasions.

But last month he said he would hit the road again for the sake of Lily, his only child and his ‘reason for living’.

‘She has never seen Adam perform and doesn’t know what The Ants were all about,’ he said.

'I’ve had this lifelong battle against manic depression, but I’ve had to overcome it for her sake. Times got bad. I lost my mind. But I’m back.’
