As a Dutch-speaking Belgian I grew up on Dutch television. Why? Simply because our own Flemish public network didn't have any good programs for kids back then. One of my favourite programs was Countdown, a Dutch version of Top of the Pops, hosted by Adam Curry. Curry was an American that grew up in the Netherlands. He left the Dutch tv to search for greener pastures on the other side of the pond: MTV, where he hosted the Top 20 Video Countdown. Every once in a while he'd pop in on the Dutch television to talk about his life in the States, until he dissapeared completely in the folds of time.

I grew up and stopped watching Dutch television, but whenever I reminisce about my childhood I wonder: What has happened with Adam Curry? BCCnews has provided me with an answer today: He's just as obsessed with music and radio as he was before. It doesn't state if he still has that long curly hair, though...
