Thirty four years ago today, MTV debuted. MTV used to stand for "Music Television," the idea being they would play music videos, you know, kind of like short movies for the songs. In 1981 the idea was cutting edge, unheard of, pretty cool... They had VJs, video jockeys, the television equivalent of disc jockeys for radio. I was sixteen years old when it debuted. I remember staying up Friday night to witness the start of something new at 12:01 a.m. Saturday morning. "Ladies and gentlemen, rock and roll..."
I remember the very first video...
Remembering all this this morning, I decided to take a look at what MTV was doing today to honor their groundbreaking foray into television all those years ago...
They've got some sort of reality show on, followed by teen movies like What a Girl Wants...
What the hell happened? MTV is nothing more than the Disney Channel...
Ridiculous...
