1989 was the last I watched MTV. After that, it turned into crap.

Hip Hop and Rap are not music ,,, it is the lack of music performed by talentless thugs and wanna bees .

Video killed the radio star.

I think MTV--getting away from showing music videos--needs to figure out that they need go to back to that format at least much of the day.

This channel is still on?

Are you sure you want your MTV?

No. Who even watches MTV anymore? MTV should be about music, music videos and Beavis & Butthead. The other networks already have the trash reality-show territory covered.

Time has not been good to some of the VJs:

Seeing where the mess ended up makes me appreciate the early days, when fixed scenes of incoming ocean waves played for long stretches due to lack of content.

I don’t remember the actual launch of MTV with “Video Killed The Radio Star” but toward the end of that first week you could tell that it was going to be the “Talk of the Town”.

For a short decade, it was the greatest advertising medium for music ever invented. It spawned hundreds of artists and an amazing explosion of creativity. It had the best demographic for advertisement.

What killed it was a combination of liberal political correctness and the greed of the music industry which hated the idea of anyone else profiting as much as a penny of “their” money they squeezed out of performers for their music.

But it was fun while it lasted.

Martha Quinn is still hot!
