I remember: I am 14, home sick, watching MTV, the only time I am ever allowed to watch TV during the day. It is 1996, and they are trying to make “alternative” a genre of music. MTV is still playing videos occasionally, and today they are debuting one. It is black and white, a girl at the piano with too big eyes and the voice of a jazz singer who smokes more than she breathes.
