Dino Danelli (the drummer) died today.  I loved this group as a kid.  They were the first white band signed by Motown.

They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

Technically HBO's video jukebox featured music videos in the late 1970s, they called them "promotional clips" at the time.  In 1981 they went to a full half-hour show format for the videos, and of course MTV also premiered in 1981.  Within about a year, MTV's subscriber count eclipsed HBO's, and it became the official home of music videos (and 80s pop culture in general).

A decade later they basically stopped showing videos and lost most of their relevance.

I was in grade school in 1981 when MTV premiered.  Even then I could tell, it was kind of a big deal.  It absolutely shaped our views of pop culture, and even world politics.

As a kid, I had to rely on American Bandstand & Ed Sullivan to see rock acts.  There were a couple of shows, Shindig! and Hulabaloo that lasted a couple of years in the '60's.  The first time I saw a bluesman was when the Rolling Stones brought Howlin' Wolf to Shindig!.  That turned my concept of music upside down.
