But what you may want to know is that mtv is responsible for a complete revolution in the music business in this country. Unskinny bop just blows me away mtv makes the hits. Its as if there were just one National Radio station for new songs. Ending the 80s in terms of rock music youre getting a lot of hair bands. Youve got poison, ratt, warrant. Shes my cherry pie cool drink of water, such a Sweet Surprise tastes so good make a grown man sweet cherry pie a lot of hairspray going on. Theres a lot of sexually suggestive lyrics. Its not particularly deep music, but mtv pushing it. So thats selling. When i would turn on mtv, all the rock bands looked a certain way. They played a kind of music. They were expected to have a certain facade. Mtvs ratings are surprisingly small. But those who do watch, mostly teenagers and young adults,
Okay. Are there any changes to the schedule . Line item 7 which is shown for all day, all of first shift tuesday. The tank pressurization test will not start until 1,300. When do you want to run the leak check . First shift tuesday. Youre going to extend by five hours by cutting it off. Negative. Its 3 hours and 32 minutes until man begins the greatest adventure in his history. If all goes well, apollo 11 astronauts armstrong, aldrin, and collins are to lift off from pad 39a out there on the voyage man always has dreamed about. So, it is now before they go as their gleaming vehicle sits poised out there that there is time if only briefly in this busy morning to think of those three men and the burdens and hopes they carry on behalf of all mankind. Roaring through the vastness, the blackness, and the coldness of space, they will carry the pledge made eight years ago by president kennedy, to put a man on the moon and bring him back safely in this decade.

John lennon, as he was entering his premises, was shot by an unknown at this time white male. The world has reacted with immense shock and grief to the first rock n roll assassination. It was like in one moment the 60s and the 70s got murdered. In his life hes given more love than most men and women on the face of this earth. Were here to prove that love is not dead, even though john is. You know, you start the decade with the death of a beatle. You dont really know where youre going to go from that point, you know, culturally or musically. For a while it seemed there was nothing new on the horizon. Announcing the latest achievement in home entertainment. The power of sight. Video. The power of sound. Stereo. Mtv. Music television. We all are so excited about this new concept in tv. Well be doing for tv what f. M. Did for radio. At the time the world was saying, we dont think anybody is going to watch videos over and over. But we knew we had something special. Ooh, my little pretty one

My name is mike rogers. I had access to classified information gathered by our operatives. People who risked everything for the United States and our families. You dont know their faces or their names. You dont know the real stories from the people who live the fear and the pressure until now. A worldwide hunt is on for a russian weapons dealer who u. S. Authorities fear is every bit as dangerous as osama bin laden. Viktor bout is a dangerous figure. They dont care who they do business with and provide lethal weapons to drug traffickers, terrorists, human traffickers. They are basically the engine behind those groups.
