MTV Turns 30!!!

MTV first aired, August 1, 1981.  The first video was "Video Killed The Radio Star"  by the Buggles.  I think this is what defined the 80's and has made it the best decade EVER!  (in my opinion, of course!)  MTV used to air music videos 24/7 and began to evolve in 1985 with game shows, then in 1992 .... reality TV .... Oh the horror!!  I hate reality TV!

In 1981 I was 8 years old when MTV was born and it has left a lasting impression on my taste of music and my LOVE of music videos.
The first "original" VJ's:  Alan Hunter, Mark Goodman, JJ Jackson, Martha Quinn, Nina Blackwood.

Thank goodness for satellite radio, cause I still listen to the 80's!!
