Today is the 20th anniversary of the launch of MTV. I was not there at that
point, but was hired on a couple of months later to bother people with telephone
surveys about their favorite videos (what, and leave show business?). They are
throwing a huge party tonight to celebrate, but my invitation seems to have been
lost in the mail. That's okay, as you can imagine, working for them from 1981 to
1989, I got to attend enough of the kind of parties that inspire legends that
trying to relive that era would no-doubt be a let-down (besides the fact that
doing that sort of thing at my advanced age would probably kill me).

Ah yes, I remember now watching the debut of Michael Jackson's 30-minute Thriller video. Wasn't that you and Martha Quinn off set with intertwined martini glasses? A shame that didn't work out. Please give my regards to Mark Goodman and Alan Hunter. Last I heard they were working on a reverse-role Three's Company.
