MTV was never good. BAck in 1984 you would catch a decent rock or metal video, or headbangers ball (great) but 90% of the crap even then was "Flock of Seagulls" and all sorts of ghey shite...
" 1985 MTV music video awards. I was nominated 14 times, still a record. I heard a rasp voice behind me.
" You Dave Roth Son? " , " Yes sir Mr Brown, I am " , " You gonna sweep tonite son. "
After the show. I had lost 14 nominations, still a record, I turn around to Mr Brown and say
" You meant the floor sir? "
