dude was waaaay ahead of the curve when it came to entitled people and their staggering incredulity about paying money for content

I liked that jangly Byrdsy song with a dumbass video about the end of a relationship.

I think I still have a VHS copy of the MTV Awards with the MJ kiss somewhere. That was also the one where Sandra Bullock was presenting with someone (I want to say Adam Sandler) and she misread the cue on the teleprompter and asked Adam what it was like to kiss Keanu Reeves. He handlded it pretty well and riffed about how safe he felt in Keanu's arms.
Something about this moment seemed staged to me... In a good way.

probably in that it was completely scripted

No repeats of the Jenny McCarthy Show though.
Probably because it was fucking awful and no one wants to see it.
it's weird how you forget how close the early 80s were to the 70s, like before madonna's iconic "like a virgin" mtv awards performance dan akroyd introduces her with his tom synder impression
sorta like how now is pretty much still the 00's

Wasn't really the standard VH1 was using in showing some of those old clips.

Michael Jordan tried to make Kennedy's virginity the stakes in a dice game, apparently:

i was reading a piece on "the marshall mathers LP" when the author mentioned this program. i don't think i've thought about it once in 20 years. it was like being teleported back to being 9 years old and watching cable in my friend's basement. sort of nauseating tbh

When that would come on (after Beavis & Butt-head or Daria), I couldn’t change the channel fast enough. (I was 19, not 9, but same diff)
