Rip Video Star

Radio murdered the live musician.
It had no regrets,
this was the intention.

Video killed the radio star.
Beauty became the focus,
more important than playing a guitar.

The internet shot music videos down.
Took a whole network with it,
no one needs their MTV now. 

Who will massacre the internet?
The verdicts still out,
I'm not ready to place my bet.
