Those were the days when you could actually market to young people. Nowadays young people don't want to work and are planning to live with there parents until they're 80.
I listened to the radio simulcast of this episode in November of 1984. I was looking forward to the Michael Jackson tribute. I liked the tributes to Michael that FNV did in 1988 when it devoted episodes to all of The King Of Pop’s classic videos and MLB great Dave Winfield, Sean Lennon, and Ahmad Rashad were the hosts. As for this episode, I like the songs by Culture Club and Stevie Wonder and Private Reel with Darryl Hall and John Oates. “I Just Called To Say I Love You” made me realize the greatness of Stevie. I heard the song a lot and liked it, but rarely saw the video. I’m glad it’s here in this episode of FNV. The artists featured in the Private Reel segment were insightful.
There's a blind school near me. It's heartwarming when i see them take families around the neighbourhood (across traffic too), all wearing blindfolds so they can experience a little of what it is to be blind. They're making the effort to understand.
MTV - four decades ago, when it actually played MUSIC videos, and hadn't been RUINED by "Yo! MTV Raps", and ended up showing a gaggle of "reality" shows of dysfunctional young people, from lazy, clueless "Eye-Talians" from "Joisy" and unwed teens getting an early start on making a train wreck of their lives.
I completely forgot Tracy Ullman was a musician. She got her own show and that show is where the Simpsons came from! That little music video is art of a decades long cultural phenomenon.
I seem to have disliked almost all of DIC's cartoons. Inspector Gadget, Heathcliff, Denice the Menace, and the Chipmunks were all I ever liked, I think.
1981 baby. Not me sitting here singing the whole theme song to Kidd Video! Also, I love seeing the yesteryear commercials. My tears are on a rollercoaster of emotions. I want my childhood back. 🥺
