thank you very much. when are we going to see anybody of color on mtv, because you said music television. when are you going to start covering all genres of music? music has no color. and it shouldn t have color. i don t believe in that. what i do, i don t want it labeled black or white. i want it labeled as music. 1983, motown has this big tv special, motown s 25th anniversary. at that time thriller is out and thriller is doing well. but michael jackson couldn t get billie jean on mtv. she was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene when the rest of the world was going crazy and he can t get on mtv? michael jackson? come on.
ooh, my little pretty one, heavily influenced by rakim and pretty one heavily influenced by what was just going on. when you gonna give me some it was really a desperate call to have us being heard. time sharona mtv made you feel like those artists were in the room. you had a personal concert all you talk about black all the day. crack that whip time to a multi-race audience. when you have the rotation of, say, maybe 100 different think about who are the people i videos being rotated over and have out here? over on mtv, they do a great job haven t i got a responsibility of exposing new acts. to them i have a responsibility to here in my car where the image the my people and my culture breaks down because my people and my culture have been brutalized and ignored for years. will you visit me please if i open my door in cars britain was ahead of the mother standing in the welfare curve. they had a ton of videos in line their inventory, and that was
sounding. more garage. less produced. we can t give you, unlimited summer, this music that was bubbling but we can give you unlimited talk, text and data out of places like portland and for just $30 a line for 4 lines. and that comes on our newest signal. seattle and bands like nirvana that weren t looking to fit in no signal reaches farther or is more reliable. to what was being played on mtv so you can. share more sunsets. or what was being played on radio. stream more videos. and stay connected with friends while you slide into fall. all for just $30/line. and for a limited time, eventually radio and mtv came to you can get free smartphones too! them. come to t-mobile now and get new 4 lines of unlimited the seeds of what will happen in and 4 free phones the next decade are already all for just 30 bucks a line! there by the end of the 80s. college rock like r.e.m. was son, i need to tell you what is it, dad? something new entirely. dos equis is brewed in the style of pilsne
when he does that moonwalk, if you were sitting on the couch by the end of it you were on the floor in front of the tv. you couldn t believe what you were seeing. i would say the moonwalk was really one of the first viral moments that affected rock history. the next week thriller started selling a million copies a week. i like michael jackson because he can sing good, he s bad, he knows how to dance. he s so sexy and so gorgeous. he s exciting! michael jackson is the man of the 80s. mtv starts to get pressure from cbs records, which was michael jackson s label. rock n roll, in itself, was really the thing that broke a lot of rules. when you re very successful, you try to make your own rules occasionally. as the story goes, cbs essentially said, we will pull every other artist we have on mtv if you don t play this. they had to be essentially blackmailed into doing it. it doesn t matter who s wrong or right just beat it he was the artist that mtv
