I first saw MTV in the Cambridge branch of Newbury Street Comics. They showed loads of appalling English new wave bands like Duran Duran and Kajagoogoo.

When I was 13, I used to watch MTV through all the squiggly lines until our cable company finally added it to Basic. I was hooked. I watched it all day long on weekends and during summer vacation. My favorite band was Split Enz (still is, actually) and I would sit in front of the TV waiting for them to play I Got You, History Never Repeats, Six Months in a Leaky Boat, etc. I didn't watch it much after they broke up in 1985, but when Neil put Crowded House together in '86, I was hooked again. I gave it up for good in '87 when I started college.

And hey, I liked Duran Duran.

Wow. This felt like an over share. Please don't publicly mock me.
