Out of the Blue

It was interesting to see all the stories yesterday about the anniversary of the launch of MTV, since I worked there back in the day. I just can't believe how inaccurate all the news outlets were about this, as they call it the networks' 30th anniversary, and there's no way someone as young as I could have worked there that long ago.

Yeah it couldn't be 30 years, seems like yesterday huh!! A few days ago, I mistook something that happened over 3 years ago to have been in the "past couple months."

Not to state the obvious, but MTV really did become some sort of marketing tool first, then devolved into another network with shows produced for its audience which got progressively worse. I don't even think they do MTV News anymore. When it was centered on music it wasn't so bad; I remember staying up late with my brother and sister watching the top 100 countdowns or waiting for some video premiere, having a blast arguing about what the rankings would be and all that. Music videos are weird and unnecessary, but artists seem to take them seriously.
