Never Trust Any (TV) Over 30

MTV turned 30 today and here are the first few minutes:



Where were you on August 1, 1981?  I was about to return to Charleston for my junior year of college.  It took another couple of years before MTV made it to SC, so it doesn't feel 30 to me.

I was laying on my living room floor in my apartment on Wilcox ave. just four blocks from Hollywood and Vine. And YES, I was stoned after a long day of work at the cafe.

I was 5 months into my first post college job at an environmental lab in Hawthorne (LA area) and living in a tiny studio apartment in North Torrance (not so fashionable as Torrance proper, but just ever so slightly more respectable than Lawndale). Although I caught on to MTV later (I remember ir from 1982+), The viewing expereince would have been on the 12" B&W Zenith portable.


I guess that means I'm old enough go out and yell at those kids to get off the lawn.
