Internet killed MTV

For historical edjjimicational porpoises, then, since you mention it:
MTV LAUNCH FIRST DAY SATURDAY 12:01 am AUGUST 1st , 1981 1st hour Part 1
"At the moment of its launch, only a few thousand people on a single cable system in northern New Jersey could see it."

Just the video:
First Music Video on MTV- Video Killed the Radio Star

Alternative live version:
Buggles - Video killed the radio star 1979

Never could stand MTV m'self. But I was almost 30 then. :)

Justin: Your posts suck! Quick, now, Kevin, reassure him I'm kidding and just trying to help, in that it's best to have the first criticism be friendly. I did the same thing for the new website! Just naturally helpful that way. Honestly, I like the last 2 days' posts. Friendly & personal, as opposed to dry and almanacky. Not to be taken by reflection as criticism of the other folks' "happened today" posts -- it's quite a task to keep up with everything and be fresh and witty every day.

And Kevin, good to see you contributing again. The thing I like most about Kevin's posts: He makes my prolixity seem concise by contrast. See? There I go again!
