1981 - 40 Years Ago MTV!

Midnight 1981. Your TV would never be the same. MTV made it's debut. Here are the first two hours of programming. Mark Goodman was the first VJ.

I would recommend two books about it all.

1. I Want My MTV: The Uncensored Story of the Music Video Revolution

Chat from executives, the VJs, and the artists. Learn about your favorite music video (it probably wasn't the artists favorite.)

2. VJ: The Unplugged Adventures of MTV's First Wave

The story from the perspective of the original VJs.
