Speaking as the Random Flickr Guy I don't ever remember seeing a "Hazard Part 2", and having seen Part 1 I probably wouldn't have watched it anyway, but I simply jumped to the logical conclusion that anything with a part 1 must also have at least a part 2. I may have been wrong !

I only stumbled upon this article because I just saw the vid for "hazard" on TV and thought I would search for more info of a great song I remember from my "yoof". Glad to see R.M is alive, well and has a great sense of humour. He is now etched even more favourably in my mental top ten list of 80's musicians.

I'm late to the party, I know. I stumbled upon this thread through Google, in search of "Hazard" videos. That's videos. With an S at the end. The song came up in conversation with a friend at 4 am, followed by frustration in search for the truth about multiple Hazard videos. I -- nay, WE -- clearly, CLEARLY, remember MTV flashing up the title "Hazard - Part 1" and "Hazard - Part 2." But you guys and some random flickr page flickr.com/photos/cmdrgravy/309662905 seem to be the only ones to recognize and acknowledge this, including that lying mulleteer himself, Richard Marx. There wasn't a re-edit "only for Europe" -- there were two versions right here on my MTV. I'm not crazy, you're not crazy, and Mr. Random Flickr Guy isn't crazy. But this issue has definitely got me goin' crazy. Wherever you go, whatever you do, I most definitely WILL be right here waiting for you, to tell me the truth about the multiple Hazard videos, Mr. Marx.

I just had to resurrect the now dormant blog on Richard Marx because I wanted to comment on how much I enjoyed reading that little information and rebuttal session that occurred (quite unexpectedly) between Scott and Richard. Whether Richard chooses to respond through his webmaster or personally, he is definitely a man who can hold his own in a debate. And, apparently, so can Scott. Kudos to Scott, for admitting he mispoke on a few facts concerning Richard Marx. Richard is a prolific song writer and extremely talented performer. He takes himself and his work seriously, and rightly so. Nevertheless, as shown by his recent banter with Scott, Richard also has a very good sense of humor. "Adult Contemporary Waterfall" or whatever hairstyle he happens to wear, it's the brain matter contained underneath that continues to impress his fans all these years. NOTE TO SCOTT: I deliberately chose to write this on a Thursday as I thought you might want to spend some time away from the bleach fumes.

CORRECTION: Mr Marx would like to point out that he did not, in fact, sport a`rock mullet` as popularly believed. The appropriate nomenclature is `Adult Comtemporary Waterfall`. Please do your research. Just saw the 'Take This Heart' video again. Have to agree, if that is a mullet, Heather Locklear's been sporting mullets throughout her professional career. Love ya, RM! 'Take This Heart' is still one my favorite songs ever!

after some consideration, I've decided this is by far the best correspondence I've ever read. Move over, DeSade: Letters from Prison.

If you read this (which I think you will be) contact me! We need to work together! How could someone pass up a professional approach like that?

LMAO! Now this is some argument. Although I have to say that I have never seen an artist who made comments through his web administrator. I always thought that people like that used publicists.

I was sort of waiting for him to email you over that last post. Nice to write about someone like Richard, and use my uploaded videos from YouTube, but you should be a good fact checker in the process. Take care and have a good one... Sincerely, Denise :)

Wow, I guess he really did mean it when he said, "wherever you go, whatever you do / I will be right here waiting for you ..." Who knew it was directed at Mr. Smith?

I still get a little tingly feeling when I think of that shaggy mullet and the way he tossed it about.

Hi Richard, how's it going?

As an aside, the female writers of the Chicagoist offices have been abuzz with discussions about Richard Marx ever since that post went up. And every time we’ve mentioned this to any of my female friends, the first words out of their mouths were “Wow, so do you think you could get his autograph for me?” So yeah. Smart-ass bloggers: 0; Richard Marx: 1.
