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

Probably because it was fucking awful and no one wants to see it.
Wasn't really the standard VH1 was using in showing some of those old clips.

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
