I think anyone would justifiably flip out in such a situation. It is worth watching it if the video ever surfaces though.Iamreddavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02768287658329807075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12501248.post-65030214816739563522011-09-02T09:49:25.675+01:002011-09-02T09:49:25.675+01:00Well evidently it wasn't quite a self-destruct...Well evidently it wasn't quite a self-destruct, what with him running <a href="http://sputnik.tv/" rel="nofollow">a production company now</a> and having a TV show.<br /><br />When does Dave Lee Travis's beer show start on Bulgarian telly?The Beer Nuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14105708522526153528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12501248.post-73910400444608658732011-09-02T09:35:30.210+01:002011-09-02T09:35:30.210+01:00Ray cokes has the best self destruct of a TV caree...Ray cokes has the best self destruct of a TV career in history. <br /><br />"But you were renowned for their spontaneity and your talent for improvisation?<br /><br />This goes in a small studio broadcast as the "Most Wanted", but here I should make a 90-minute live show in the middle of the Reeperbahn. That must be prepared professionally. I did not work. But MTV called me and said: If you are not doing the show, you'll never get a job. It was a disaster. There were no celebrities booked, it rained, it was cold. MTV and had falsely claimed the dead trousers would perform live, but they were only connected by satellite.<br /><br />This disappointed the fans?<br /><br />Worse. When the band appeared on the screen only, turned by the total amount. Punks threw beer bottles onto the stage. 80 minutes I held on, then I said: Let's get out here, the situation gets out of control.<br /><br />And then you have resigned?<br /><br />MTV gave me the blame. They said I had lost control, which provoked riots. She dumped me after my show and wanted to make another offer. But for me it was no longer acceptable - it was a matter of pride, and so I left MTV.<br />After separation, there was bad blood.<br />Absolutely. I heard rumors that it was impossible to work with me, and I was completely nuts - the end of my career."<br />http://www.markusalbers.com/artikel/stern/was-macht-eigentlich-ray-cokes/<br /><br />The video of him telling everyone to fuck off and resigning his job live on air is legendary.Iamreddavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02768287658329807075noreply@blogger.com
