MTV promo ad from the late 80s. You know, when they actually showed a little thing known as “music” on the channel, and not a bunch of boob-implanted dingies and roided-up toolboxes on idiotic reality shows??

Check out some of these bands- The Cure? The Smiths? Gene Loves Jezebel? Cool! I’d have heart failure if I turned on MTV and saw the Smiths or Gene Loves Jezebel- guess us old geezers have been relegated to VH1 or VH1 Classics. The closest MTV can get now is showing bands who are only skilled at ripping off The Cure.
