BTW, I recall reading a book back in the 80's, about the history of music videos, that mentions a TV commercial that was produced for the Lick My Decals Off, Baby album, and it's significance in the evolution of the artform. The book mentioned that the commercial was seen by almost nobody because a. it was so strange, and b. a lot of TV stations refused to air it just because of the title of the album (which I guess they took to be "suggestive" or whatever).
Same book also cites a video that was made for Ice Cream For Crow itself as being really significant too. Once again, though, not many got to see it because MTV rejected it as being "too weird". However, it was show during the Captain's appearance on Letterman in 1982, and was accepted by the Museum Of Modern Art (as was the Lick My Decals ad), who've shown it regularly.
