You Tube Rabbit Hole or Anyone remember when MTV played videos?

[BruceH]

Sitting here kinda bored. Just tapped a new keg and started with Black Sabbath Iron Man. I'm going to let You Tube take me the rest of the way. Next it picked War Pigs.

I'm wondering how long it will take to get to something completely different. Having memories of watching MTV when it first came out in the early 80's.

After a few Ozzy videos it moved on to Led Zeppelin Immigrant Song from about 1970 or so. Good lord Plant was skinny then.

It has now moved on to Deep Purple Smoke on the water. When will Roadhouse Blues come on?

I remember the first year of MTV. Coincidentally, my brother and I scored about 50 cases of Marlboro Reds when a high school acquaintance stole them from somewhere.

We sat in our large (opulent, really) ballroom basement and smoked all those cigs and watched the late rich ocasik. Quite a year, really. Later, my dad lost his job and our ballroom and indoor pool went byby. Haha. But I'll always have that year of MTV and the 4 video jockeys that kept it going. Buncha drama now.

Anyone remember Don Kirshner's Rock Concerts on TV? Yea, that predates MTV.

If you do a few searched and watch a few videos you like, the suggestions get better.

I recently ran across the NPR tiny desk concerts, sort of a unplugged deal.

I have watched this one enough time it pops up regularly in the suggestions.

I remember MTV when they played a lot of mediocre music accompanied slick videos and tried to tell everyone that we should all listen to rap.
Ok, there were a few videos I liked:

Living in podunk south Georgia where most radio stations were country, MTV was the only way to get decent new music. I remember knowing about STP, Pearl Jam, Tool, etc way before a lot of my friends since I was earlier and had it playing before school. It seemed like the played the fringe stuff early before it got popular.

MTV was amazing the first few years. No commercials, nothing but music videos and...honestly.... we all wanted to boink Martha Quinn.
