This really bums me out. I am very sad. When MTV started in 1981 I was 'coming of age' . Just starting high school and all that. When it first hit the airwaves MTV was a very cool and very interesting little entity that was, dare I say, 'underground', at least in it's first year. I got turned on to so much cool and unheard of music. It really was unchartered territory to be explored. No wonder they used the moon landing clip in their early IDs. I remember JJ Jackson as an integral part of those early days of MTV, and a really great, appealing personality. I remember how he used to lead in his show to Martha Quinn's show...'M-C-Q, where be you?"Being a big admirer of FM radio history and old school radio DJs, I was impressed with his resume and all the history he had in radio going back to the golden age of undergorund FM radio as a jock on WBCN in Boston. Other than that, for some reason, this one really bugs me. Take care JJ and thanks for all the cool music.
