The news (noose) chokes me
Without a grip on Entertainment TV:
My voice is a whisper among Hollywood screams.
It is all that is fabulous –
But all that glisters is not gold.
Oh Bella Donna (belladonna)
Sister of Narcissus
You danced your way in
Secreted from the root
Now your dazzling eyes
So hypnotic and enticing
(an intoxication that weds body and mind)
Imprisons and torments.
Narcosis and paralysis.
Bodies,
Impregnated by vicious lies
That rip and melt
You seek the fabulous;
You seek the deadly nightshade.
Your ears are not for me.
I still plant in your garden
For hope.

The Separation of Phil and Snit
For those that remember the days when - long before Nuclear Donkey - YTV played "Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers," the memory of an unpredictable purple bubblegum TV that went by the name of Snit may still be preserved. Referencing that memory is to recall a time when PJ Fresh Phil talked with Snit between scheduled programming. But lo, another time came when Phil was joined by another YTV host, Paul McGuire.
When Paul ended his stint in the Zone, a young Daryl Jones (MTV Live) moved in.
With two mobile hosts on the set, an old Western sentiment crept its way into the Zone, and it appeared that this place wasn't big enough for three. Presumably, Daryl and PJ Phil sent Snit into space, where the television entity could reside without the strain of producers breathing down its...bubblegum. It's not easy being purple.
Nostalgic euphoria aside, let's talk about now. PJ Phil (known in the real world as Phil Guerrero) has since moved on from providing kids with entertaining bumper programming.
The once PJ now carries on shredding guitar and supplying backing vocals for the Goth/Industrial band, Razed in Black, which has enjoyed sharing a stage with notable acts like Tool, Filter, and Deathride 69 (Elegy Magazine, 1999). Among the five albums they've released are Shrieks, Laments and Anguished Cries (1996), Oh My Goth! (2001), and Damaged (2003).
Razed in Black's success is substantial, youth entertainment has changed, and it is very much unlikely that Phil and Snit should ever be reunited for five-minute increments between "Rugrats" and "ReBoot."
