Great tune. Sad there isn't a video channel anymore. Why not? Can you not make money playing vids 10 hours a day?

Maybe not with Youtube and other formats now.
Never will be a return to staying up late watching Headbangers Ball with friends eating pizza in the dorm.

I'm actually watching a series on VH1 right now called Video killed the radio star which highlights bands talking about making videos in the 80s. Right now its Duran Duran

Ok, this was a goofy vid from Yo MTV Raps, in 1989. Look at who it is at :54. When he blew up a decade later I still thought of him as sidekick to The Jaz, haha.

Steely Dan was literally my therapy during my divorce. Once I made it thru "Pretzel Logic" and "Haitian Divorce" without shedding tears I knew I'd be OK.

thanks for this thread
I am a fan of many of these rock bands. Ratt, Scorpions, Dire Straits, Tom Petty, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAD6Obi7Cagetc

My kids laughed at my CD's then suddenly I didn't have any in the cases. I asked them
where my cd's went too, they smiled and said they had them. I noted they used to laugh at them. I got a simple
reply of "they are a lot better than we thought".

Great music has no time limit
