Interesting how you omit the MTV VeeJay who grew up to become a blogger... Off topic: How many people remember any of the VeeJays who passed through VH-1 when it still had its hyphen? Bobby Rivers? Roger Rose? DON IMUS?

didn't one die?
vj, that is

JJ Jackson, died just 2 years ago, heart attack.

You're right, AC didn't join the channel until '86, long after the corpse of the Radio Star had decomposed... my bad.

posted by wendell 23 March | 01:15

yup--just the ones that were on in 82--i left Alan Hunter and JJ out tho.

You're confusing Mr. Curry with the original blond boy veejay whose name escapes me because he had no personality or boobies.

oh, 1982 was the first year that the charts started to be affected by videos from MTV, i think.

sorry, it was the heat of the moment

posted by ethylene 23 March | 01:37

aw. Flip Fantasia. We must have bought this CD four times... and every time it was stolen.

posted by taz 23 March | 02:05

Of all music stolen, some weird substitution is lying around that is of dubious origin.
Some things i refuse to buy ever again.
