MTV at 25

Twenty-five years ago, MTV revolutionized the record industry; the station revived the music industry and recreated fashion, most of which should never, ever come back.

I was five then and it chanegd my life as much as anything could change the life of a five-year-old. In fact, I remember that I recorded songs as they appeared and then played them outside on a Brand Names tape recorder. I imagine that I learned to play guitar because of Mtv. Maybe all of my music interest developed from Mtv. Where are the "Snowdens of Yesteryear?" Are there any musical virtues left on Mtv or is it just gross commercialism?

To celebrate its 25th aniversary, eMpTyV is doing, well, nothing. Instead VH1 Classics is playing "MTV Day One" (you cannot break the programming of MTV today since those who want the original station were not alive then.).

In a 20 or so minute span, the videos played were:
(1) Nazareth (the chorus of the song goes something like:"Momma, Momma please no more face lifts;" there was a "I don't know who my daddy is." A kid in the video plays Pole Position.
(2) Stevie Nicks' "Step Draggin' My Heart Around," (this was before Stevie appeared in mumus. It also featured a young Tom Petty-- only 50 at the time-- as a backup singer);
(3) The Buggles Video Killed a Radio Star (whom was killed later by the cast of The Real World and Laguana Beach)
(4) Robert Palmer "Looking for Clues" (it is funny that he only plays one chord during the video).
(5) Ph.D. "Little Sussies' on the Up." (I have never heard of, nor seen this song or video, though one girl in the video looked like Paris Hilton for a second)
(6) Rod Stewart "Passion." This is one of the worst videos I have ever seen. A black stage with red dots. Though, the stage goes well with some of the worst lyrics I have heard. The guitar player's solo is a Pink Floyd rip-off. But, what can you expect from someone in a red track suit.
(7) Shoes "Cruel You." Maybe it is a good thing MTV no longer plays videos.
(8) The Pretenders, "Talk of the Town." I liked this band.

But what I want to know is:
Will "Fish Heads" be on?
Why have I not wacthed this all day?
Where is Daria? When will she be back?
Where is 120 Minutes?
Is MTV dead? Or just no longer speaking to me? I know the later is true. Is the former?
