That's really cool.

Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

I think this is closer to what I was looking for.

We were so naive.

Naivete regarding advertising?

That's the kind of thing that makes me a grumpy old man. Everything is about money. It's awful how obvious it is.

But in 1982, I was 13 and I loved my MTV. Even bands I didn't like, I loved their videos. I have so many wonderful memories from MTV's early days.

Not exactly what I was looking for but it is interesting about what it was like back then.

Les Garland looks like Adam Corolla with bad glasses.

Exactly. We were targeted but the great memories of '81 to about '84 (when the playlist narrowed) remain.

Nice little story about David Lee Roth by Martha Quinn (who is aging well):
