Out of the Blue

I was chatting with a fellow customer this morning when buying some food for the dogs, when it struck me that I thought I knew him, and sure enough, it was Mark Goodman, one of the original MTV VJs. It's not like we knew each other back when we were both at MTV, but we shared a couple of laughs over some memories and mutual acquaintances. As James Bond once said, shmall world.

If you don't mind, what was it that you did there?

I did call out music research for MTV, interrupting people's lives with unsolicited phone calls to ask people about their favorite music videos. If you lived in a place like Des Moines at the time, I may have bothered you.

I went on to do for programming for VH-1, scheduling music and promos before moving on to studio production, producing VJ segments and a weekly countdown show.
