40 years ago today MTV started.
Video killed the good music - a slow and painful death, but it eventually died.

You should write a song about that.
Are we having fun yet?

It makes me think of that In Living Color character, the old blues guy... "I wrote a song about that, it goes like this..."



So, one of my things that I am having a problem with in sports, other than their horrible politics and social issues, is the fact that these assholes celebrate way too much. In my past, I have thrown no hitters, I have hit home runs, game winning hits, sunk a few big shots, etc...  I never acted like I fucking never had been there before. 15 years ago, I saw a Padres baseball player get hurt during a celebration and pretty much screwed their chances of getting out of the first round of the playoffs.

What in the fucking world is wrong with these fucking idiots? I get it, public schools in most Western countries are not teaching real history. Critical thinking skills and their lack of understanding that if they don't know history, in this case - of their sport, they are doomed to repeat it.

This guy deserves the problems he dumped upon himself. No fucking sympathy...

Or when visiting Texas?

This was the first tune played on MTV.  Not sure if this was the exact video

Devo Secret Agent Man is the first one I saw. Everything else is a David Lee Roth blur in my memory banks.

My family had Southwestern Cable...  I don't believe we got MTV until October of 1982. The reason I think that is because I came home from an all-day experience at Jack Murphy Stadium to see The Who, Loverboy and John Cougar...  Well, I missed most of John Cougar...

When I arrived home from the concert, it was pointed out to me that MTV was now on.

Since I have been watching videos on Los Angeles stations for a while, I don't recall what the first video I saw on MTV was.  I do remember a lot of stuff that I would have never heard on the radio or likely even seen the album in the store because they were pulling everything out of anywhere they could find videos. 

I do remember this one - it was a weekend binge of MTV and this song was on probably every other hour. The video looks like a different edit than what I remember...
