It's MTV's 25th birthday today. Happy birthday! I dyed my hair red(bright) in commemoration! (Not--see my blog about bad hair!)

25 years- It can't be. I'm old.

You think that's old? I remember vinyl, saving my babysitting money to buy Beatle albums--wish we would've had MTV then!

the first song ever played on MTV was "video killed the radio star"
lol, I'm a wealth of useless knowledge

My first 45 record was "Julie do ya love me" by Bobby Sherman<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif" border="0">

Mine first was an old Monkees album that actually belonged to my sis as well as a Tommy Roe one......OH SWEET PEA, WONT YA BE MY GIIIIRL! I went to a dance just the other night. I saw a girl there. She was out of sight. I asked a friend of mine who she could be. He said that her friends just call her SWEET PEA~!

I didn't even knew that MTV lasted for about 25 years. It has really come a long way.

I was crazy about Lesley Gore--My boyfriends back, I'll cry if I want to...used to stack those 45's!

My wife told me that the Buggles song was the first to air MTV, but I think the longest playing was "Oh, Mickey", from Toni Basil! (More useless info...The keyboardest is now one of the members to 'Asia', and the singer went to make the group 'Yes'.)
However, MTV seemed to be the perfect tool to expose the "New Wave Music" for the likes of Boy George, Duran Duran, Adam Ant, etc.!

Yeah, and I loved to watch ZZTOP videos!
