Videos You Forgot: Michael Penn “No Myth”

Here’s a little trivia for you: who won the VMA for Best New Artist in 1989? That’s right, Michael Penn!

We seem to remember spending a lot of 1989 waiting for this video to air on MTV and daydreaming that a boy would tell us he was Romeo in black jeans.

As you know, little Michael Penn grew up, married Aimee Mann and became BFF with Paul Thomas Anderson. It would seem Mr. Penn has fallen in and out of love with music the 18 years since “No Myth” was a breakout hit, but we can’t ever get over our romance with his bizarre first video.
