Call your cable com-pan-ee and say I WANT MY M-T-V! Did we Gen-Xers know who good we had it in the 80s and 90s? Music! On television 24 hours a day! What could be better? At the stroke of midnight, August 1st, 1981, the flag was planted and the declaration declared - "Ladies and gentlemen, rock n roll!" The music video revolution was all-encompassing back in MTV's heyday. They had pop culture in the palms of their hands. Our beloved all-stars - namely Shannon Hurley, Dustin Prince, Matt Dinan, Joe Lavelle, David Daskal, Gabe Scalone and the Old Boy Himself Ryan Blake - are here to join us in the wayback machine, back to that first hour of what would be a cultural juggernaut.
