No Country For Old Men. I can't say he has no conscience because he was committed to do what he said he would.

It was fun while it lasted. I remember enjoying Eurythmics, Duran Duran, Michael Jackson and Elton John. It was fun to watch and see what kind of crazy videos the groups could come up with and all the clothes. Once they started reality shows, it was down the tubes. No music at all, what was the point?

I was hooked at the beginning. Simple Minds: Don't you forget about me, Genesis: Land of Confusion, Fabulous Thunderbirds: Tuff Enough, Rockwell: Somebody's Watching Me. Oh, and when they played Rush's GUP concert. Damn I was addicted to music. Still am....

Now, what was the SECOND video ever played? :)

Head Banger's Ball was the BEST

I always like this song/video

this happened yesterday, but I got a new job! i applied at a BevMo a couple weeks ago, it's like a fancy liquor store.

The camera covered in aluminum foil.

Good luck Lorraine. I sincerely hope everything turns out well & I am hoping for the very best of outcomes for you.

The beatles for a sweep. now i've grown to really appreciate the Who.......but this really comes down to who (lol) is ingrained in me more. my steady musical diet was the Beatles. I played Abbey Road like 5 times in a row just the first day i received it, lol Mick

By the time Video Killed The Radio Star was shown on MTV, The Buggles had already finished their debut album cycle, essentially broken up, joined Yes, then broken up again as one of them took off with Steve Howe to form Asia and the other one started making the Buggles second album mostly on his own, an album which would be released only a few months after MTV's debut. EDIT: Notably Asia's debut album was thick into the recording process on August 1st, 1981, and it would be released toward the start of 82.

They did! I don't know; they may rerun it more this week. We were on a road trip and listened to what was a 3 hour special, I think. 80s on 8 had the 4 surviving original VJs talking and doing some interviews, and playing the songs from the first 2 hours MTV was on the air. It was fun to listen to.

Now, what was the SECOND video ever played? :) http://youtu.be/IvSbQB6-UdY :wub: :ebert:

1984 - Building the Perfect Beast, Don Henley

Wasn't that the guitar player from WASP?

If you go to the oncologist by yourself, you might want to record the conversation. I'm sure it will be a lot to take in and you don't want to miss any important information.

I wonder if they'll talk about this on Sirius/XM's 80s on 8 with the original VJs. Then they can discuss the meaning of the word irony while MTV runs a Jersey Shore marathon.

From Power Windows site: There is a 15 weeks course on Rush at the Tiffin University : http://news.2112.net/2014/07/tiffin-universitys-rush-progressive.html

First movie I've seen in a theater since February of last year.

Well, it's not particularly disturbing. :rush: Where to re-house his right hand, that's what he was interested in! :o I should say not! He was a gentleman, and what's more he knew how to treat a female impersonator. Well, poor pet, she was like a lost lamb in an abattoir. Eventually she Dickie died of Colin Cholera in St Patsy Petersburg, in Gertie great Percy pain. What a rotten ending. Have you got anything more exciting? What's that one... :16ton: It was obvious that this joke was lethal... no one could read it and live... Good God! Get me the Supreme Commander Land, Sea and Air Force, immediately! :madra: I got a slug. Right, let's reconstruct the crime. Constable, you be Inspector Tiger. We'll pretend the lights have gone out. Constable, you scream...somebody shoots you :bang bang: There are other equally dangerous gangs - such as the baby snatchers. All right everybody, stay close, stay together, don't lag behind. Remember, watch out for the killer cars! :scared: Well they're about so high, you know. They don't frighten me at all. Keith, you claim you can send bricks to sleep entirely by hypnosis. :blink: Yes, but I am a doctor. Actually, I'm a gynaecologist but that was my lunch hour. On behalf of the Association, I should like to say that we are taking firm action to clamp down on the activities of Simon. :bitchslap:

Who's Next is one of rock's greatest albums. But it's not a Beatles album.

Those mid-late Beatles albums are insurmountable monuments in rock music.

1987 - Cloud Nine, George Harrison

Damn...how do you not pick one of these???

1973 - Let Me Roll It by Wings

Cum back to SLC, JR. I regret that missed meetup.

Cool. Employee discount?

I'd be afraid if I took the course and didn't get an "A," I'd feel real bad about myself!

There are few cultural institutions where the ratio of duration to contribution has been so skewed. MTV was a big deal for . . . what, the first five or six of the last 40 years? It's been running on its own fumes ever since. MTV is the equivalent of a one-album wonder band you can still catch at county fairs.

Congratulations, jamie! :) :cheerleader: :cheerleader: :cheerleader:

A double date with a man who makes me look even better by comparison

Now, what was the SECOND video ever played? :)

1972 - Love Train by The O'Jays

The video for RTB introduced 11 year old me to :rush: . I don't remember the Counterparts songs which is strange since I watched a lot of Beavis And Butthead episodes but I do remember Driven getting some airplay at times in 10th grade and Half The World a couple of times when it seemed like every other video was from No Doubt, Alanis and, especially since he had recently died, Tupac.

I was going to tech school in the Air Force, staying in a dormitory type situation, and every time I was in the day room by myself, I'd turn on the MTV. It got to be kind of comical when the boot-scootin' rednecks would open the door and sigh or grumble when they saw what was on the TV. If it wasn't for MTV, we may have never had gems like this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMSFqXGZ5TQ

I don't think I saw it until '83. Round And Round by Ratt was what I remember. I didn't pay that much attention until they had a heavy metal program that ran a half hour, I think. That morphed into Headbanger's Ball. That became pretty much the only reason I watched MTV. It became popular enough that they were considering spinning it off as a separate channel by about '93. That idea disappeared as quickly as it came. I left, too. I didn't care to watch tv episodes on MTV. Like I didn't care to watch wrestling on SyFy either.

Went off the air for me about half way through 1984. It was good while it lasted. WXPN out of Phiily is celebrating all week but I'm only interested in their show next Thursday as they are playing all songs released in 1981.

Me too. :lol:

Should be great!

Probably have to get another one of those art books to get everything I need. Holding off on buying tickets until I get better idea of where this Covid thing is going. Normally Dream Theater tickets would be a no brainer but not this year.

Oh dammit Lorraine, I'm so sorry... you're in my prayers :hug2:

I actually woke up at midnight and took two Vitamin C and D capsules. For the record, 'No Son of Mine' from Medicine at Midnight isn't a Genesis cover. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ji6KuKLJgo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYNhS4zd4AM
