I didn’t watch it.

Ask Billy Squier what he thinks of MTV. The Rock Me Tonite video ended his career.

Reminds me of how they went straight to a total ban on smoking in public places after promising to incorporate smoking rooms to get their law passed. Hard to believe people swallowed that crapload of lies.

I think "they" also said CD's would be indestructible. I guess they meant anything but fingerprints.

I remember when we were told we all needed computers because it would eliminate the need to use paper for everything and that would save the planet....

That, and the switch from paper bags to plastic. That worked out well.

They were especially great early on when they weren't so cognizant of nip and lip slips.

These were huge in '87; about ten of us from the USS Florida were on the first row of the balcony at the Seattle Paramount Theater when they were recorded. You can see us in some of the audience pans. They played the whole show, then came out and told us they were recording videos and did parts of these songs over and over.
