30?

MTV turns 30.
Let me say it again for you old folks...
MTV is 30 years old.
I didn't grow up with MTV, (which makes me one of the old folks.)
My kids grew up with MTV though. I bet yours did too.
They know all about The Real World, Spring Break and TRL. MTV is just another cable channel now. Their programming is geared toward the under 25 (maybe 30) crowd. And they still do some music videos. Not much though. I mean, if you're like me, when you started watching MTV it was ALL music videos, ALL the time. And not everybody got to watch MTV...you had to have cable TV to get MTV and 30 years ago you didn't have to pay to watch TV. I know, can you believe it! Anyway, it was a big deal when a new video premiered. It was an extra big deal when "Thriller" premiered! Yep, I was glued to my TV when it did. Sometimes I'm just flabbergasted at how quickly things change.
