There are some that have accused your videos of being soft porn. We like to call them tastefully smutty. They never had any problems saying how they feel. You too. What are your dreams . To rule the world. Michael jackson is the man of the 80s. Music to a beat and talk. Its Rap Music. Ill speak my mind Heavy Metal. It glorifies sex and violence. It hates authorities. And adolescent boys love it. This weird Beastly Presentation that was birthed in the pit of hell. John lennon was shot by an unknown at this time white male. The world has reacted with immense Shock And Grief to the first Rock And 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 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. 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 fm did for radio. At the time the world was saying we dont think anybodys going to watch videos over and over. But we knew we had something special. My little pretty one, pretty one when you gonna give me some time Sharona Mtv made you feel like those artists were in the room. You had a personal concert all day. Crack that whip when you have the rotation of, say, maybe 100 different videos being rotated over and over On Mtv, they do a great job of exposing new acts. Britain was ahead of the curve. They had a ton of videos in their inventory. And that was what paved the way for this accidental second british invasion. If you Look at some of the groups on the Popular Music Charts in America Today you Cant Help asking where on earth did they come from . Well, the answer is the same today as it was two decades ago. They come from britain. The Music Isnt Anything like the famous group that came from there, The Beatles. Youve got to understand, they were 20 years ago. Were a new generation. A New Wave. You were working as a waitress in a Cocktail Bar when i met you by the early 1980s New Wave is used to describe these sleek Dressy Cool Bands that are coming out of england. Dont you want me baby dont you want me, Oh British artists all understood how to use visuals in a way that i think american artists didnt necessarily get that quickly. Do you really want to hurt me do you really want to make me cry do you really want to hurt me is a good song. Its a song old people like and young people like. So i think the proof is in the pudding. Buy it and eat it. Mtv actually met with duran durans managers and said were Looking for kind of like James Bond videos on location. And their managers are the ones that went to the Band Members and said Look, we really need to up the ante with these clips. You know, we need to give this Channel Something theyve never seen before. Moving up the floor now babe youre a bird on paradise there are some that have accused your videos of being soft porn. Well, excuse me we like to call them tastefully smutty. Her name is rio and she dances on the sand just like that River Twisting through the dusty land when i first met duran duran, they were saying that they thought they Looked like Rock Stars. So why not become Rock Stars. Dont stand dont stand so dont stand so close to me why do you think were so popular over there . Well, theres a tradition that goes back over the past 20 years from the days of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones where british bands seem to be better at it than americans. The police have sold 4 Million albums in one year. Rolling stone chose them as best new band of the year. Taking note of the swirling, Dreamy Soaring Quality of The Sound. Giant steps are what you take walking on the moon it was incredible to see them. And i couldnt believe what i was hearing out of three people. I was shocked. I once read that you were called the pink floyd of the 80s. What do you think of that . Were not at all. Were The Cure of the 80s. The Holy Trinity of alternative british music is The Cure, depeche mode, and the smiths. All three of them started out as these Fringe Bands that by The End of the 80s were selling out stadiums. And will you return it whats new . Computer programmers or musicians . Id say neither, actually. What are you, then . Bank robbers. How does it feel to treat me like you do in the u. K. Disco did not suck. It never sucked. And bands like New Order combined it with the new Synthesizer Sound and they gave us these incredible songs that got us out on the dance floor. What i need to say i like whats happening at dance places now, over the last year or two. I think the music is becoming very healthy. Vo Ideas exist inside you, electrify you.

It has made overnight stars of Rock Groups whose records had been gathering dust. The first since 1978 business is up and the reason is Music Videos. We had no idea that Music Videos would have that much of an impact on the musical culture. It changed the entire dynamic of what you had to do as far as promotion was concerned. You had to be a Performance Artist as well as a musician. The intelligent ones recognized that its a marriage between the visual artist and the musician at this point. Monkey dont you know youre going to shock the monkey the man or the woman who finds the right combination will take it all. Lets dance put on your Red Shoes and dance The Blues when david and i decided that we were going to work together, it was pretty clear to me that david wanted to make a commercial album. Now im going to go make a pop record. But it was going to be his version of pop. My songs always tend to be impressionistic or even have a surreal quality to them. And on this album is the first time ive really tried to adapt to a didactic kind of approach to songwriting. If you should fall into my arms tremble like a flower artists in the 80s, David Bowie for that matter, realized if you wanted to make it you needed to be On Mtv. But theres one group thats not happy with mtv. Many black artists who have been told their music doesnt fit the format. Thats whats happening. Were being sat in the back of the bus television style. And if pittman gets away with this and there are other cable shows that do it theyre going to try it. Mtv doesnt exclude black acts. What mtv does exclude is music that is not Rock And Roll. Mtv came out with no consideration on how to infuse black music into their mix. Im just floored by the fact there are so few black artists featured on it. Why is that . We have to try and do what we think not only New York and Los Angeles will appreciate but also some town in the midwest that will be scared to death by prince or a string of other black faces. Interesting. Okay. 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 shouldnt have color. I dont believe in that. I dont want it labeled black or white, i want it labeled music. 1983, motown has this big tv special, motowns 25th anniversary. At that time thriller is out and thriller is doing well. But Michael Jackson couldnt get Billie JeanOn Mtv. She was more like a Beauty Queen from a Movie Scene when the rest of the world was going crazy and he cant get On Mtv . Michael jackson . Come on. 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 couldnt 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 hes bad, he knows how to dance. Hes so sexy and so gorgeous. Hes exciting Michael Jackson is the man of the 80s. Mtv starts to get pressure from cbs records, which was Michael Jacksons label. Rock and roll in itself was really the thing that broke a lot of rules. When youre 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 dont play this. They had to be essentially blackmailed into doing it. It doesnt matter whos wrong or right just beat it he was the artist that mtv really needed. They didnt know they needed him, but boy, when we started to see those Michael Jackson videos, it was just unbelievable. Then there was the domino effect. Suddenly you see prince videos from Warner Brothers do the same thing. Tonight were gonna party like its 1999 Prince Wasnt just materializing out of nowhere. Where was he before this video was done . Prince was a huge star on black radio stations. I mean, people he had a really underground Cult Following and he was a very sexy, hot performer. The sweat of your body covers me can you, my darling, can you picture this prince loved the idea that he was taking his Punk Funk Music and turning it on to a white audience, and that wouldnt have happened if not for mtv. This is what it sounds like when doves cry when i was younger, i always said that one day i was going to play all kinds of music and not be judged for the color of my skin but the quality of my work. Purple Rain Prince had a great androgyny. He blurred the gender line. He sings, he writes, he plays. Every time i see him its just like, really . Okay, i quit. When he plays guitar, its just part of his body in a way that ive never really seen before. And its not contrived. Its just its just happening. What was his music . Was It R B . His music was just straight down the middle Mainstream Grab you by the throat and balls pop. We go down to the river and into the river we die at this point a lot of it is about being there, which is why we havent done too much of the video thing. A lot of it allows too much distance. Like what our band is about is about breaking down distance. At night i wake up bruce was all about Credibility And Intelligence and integrity. So how would he translate his music and his attitude toward the world to what seemed like this frivolous world of the Music Video . Bruce is not going to be next to a winking model on a sailboat. You cant Start A Fire you cant Start A Fire without a spark this guns for hire he ends up doing essentially a Concert Video starring a then unknown courteney cox. Its like this weird recreation of something that organically happens in a Bruce Springsteen concert. Born in the usa if there was an artist in the 80s who transcended the Music Video hes the guy. Hes the guy that didnt need to do great Music Videos to still be a great artist. Hes Bruce Springsteen. It was great music. Born in the Usa Life can be a lot to handle.

Her style is defiant, raucous, tough and very sexy. We are young heartache to heartache we stand no promises no demands it appears to me that the one on stage is what i would picture a modern woman to be, someone who is aggressive and soft at the same time, has a lot of Strength And Conviction and can Look good and still have brains. You would think that in the era of music becoming a visual form more than ever that it would all be about objectification. But there were a lot of strong women on that video screen. Meet the darlings of l. A. s new music scene, the gogos. Walking down the street unlike earlier girl groups such as the ronettes or the supremes, the gogoes write their own songs and play their own instruments. They got the beat they got the beat, they got the beat yeah, they got the beat that was as Punk Rock as it got for me, to see girls up there, you know, not just singing backup or not just standing in some cool outfit in front of a band. Like they were the band. While the gogos have always managed to Look like theyre having fun, they are to be taken seriously. Theyre the first female group ever to have a Number One album, and they are at the top of a list of female Rock Stars whose impact within the industry is stronger than ever. The Phone Rings in the middle of the night my father yells what you gonna do with your life i thought her voice was extraordinary, and cyndi was a very good visual content creator. Those videos were so colorful and fun. This being march the 31st, its also a monday. Some might consider it a Manic Monday. Youll be interested in knowing there is a Hit Song of the same name. Were joined by the architects of that song. They are the bangles. You guys are very hot, yes . 6 oclock already, i was just in the middle of a dream when the bangles came out, everyone was like, oh, its like another gogos. The bangles were like uhuh, were not the new gogoes, were the new beatles. A lot of people call it a 60s sound. Do you think so . Thats our main influence. We dont go in and consciously say lets make this a Buffalo Springfield song. That seems to be the way the songs end up sounding. Just another Manic Monday wish it were Sunday Theres always a certain amount of people who will never take women as a group seriously. Its run by a very chauvinistic, i imagine, Recording Industry. We concentrate on the music, you know. We dont really worry about those things. We just keep writing songs. I think that there was a little bit of an attitude like theyre okay for chicks. They can play okay for girls. They can play okay for girls. We didnt understand why our gender mattered or why it defined us. People magazine this week says it will take an Act Of Congress to keep this woman from becoming a megastar. Whitney houston how will i know if he really loves me i say a prayer with every heartbeat whether she was doing a Dance Song or she was doing a ballad The Greatest Love Of AllIt Kind of stopped in you your tracks because you couldnt believe one woman could be blessed with that much, with the Looks and the talent. This lady started out as a dancer, went to New York, went to paris, worked with bands, came back as a single. And is she hot. This is madonna. If you saw madonna then, she Looked just like the girls who hung out at The Club called the funhouse. All the girls there had the Mesh Thing and they had the boots. And it was kind of a mix of new Wave Punk with this other dance sensibility. Holiday celebrate i think madonna was able to use that Core Dance Music and use the style of the streets that were going on and evolve that into a pop career. We are a couple weeks into the new year. What do you hope will happen not only in 1984 but for the rest of your professional life . What are your dreams . Whats left . To rule the world. Star Light Star bright first star i see tonight Star Light star bright make everything all right all of a sudden there was girls around that had the gloves with the fingers cut out of it and the hair wrapped up in the net and wearing the short skirts. There was like hundreds of thousands of jewish girls around the country wearing crucifixes because of madonna. What do you like about her . I like the way she thinks about she acts like with a different attitude that No One else has. She dresses how she wants, acts like she wants, sings like she wants. She does what she wants. I think her appeal is that she is feminine, she is herself, she is sexual. But shes strong shes an individual woman. Madonna understood the mtv phenomenon. She understood the vibe and the Look and The Sound. It all came together with her. Everyone underestimates you you keep giving them little surprises. If they get you all in one glance, then whats going to make them Look again . Ooh, Like A Virgin feels so good inside when madonna sang Like A Virgin and started rolling around on the ground, people thought it was a Careerending Moment for her. Oh, oh oh, oh in this wedding dress, rolling around on the floor. It kind of stopped everybody in their tracks. They were thinking, what is she doing and why is she doing it . But literally by the next morning she was the biggest star in the world. Madonna had no doubt. She was like, this is happening. Get out of the way. I booked our hotel on kayak.

Im coming out of a Gold Mold Ann has a Welding Iron and shes like this Amazon Welder Woman or something. We felt lost in the theater of it. It got to the point where the videos were more important than the songs. It did feel like, i cant steer the ship anymore. Where is it going, you know. Where are we headed . I think Heavy Metal is the true Rock And Roll of the 80s. And Rock And Roll was basically music made by people who were thinking with their crotches. Heavy metal is not something new in physics, it is Rock And Roll. Loud, rude, it glorifies sex and violence, it hates authority, and adolescent boys love it. This is it, this is the hot stuff. Alan, turn it off for a second so we can talk. You turn on your Television Set and you see this weird, Beastly Presentation that was birthed in the pit of hell. Where do they get this information from that im satan . Do i have horns i know im a Looking'>Bit StrangeLooking but do i breathe fire and have horns . Critics say Theres Something seriously wrong with metal music, outrageous by design, that it may have contributed to a number of teenage suicides. Has Rock And Roll finally gone too far . A growing number of people think so. Today they took their case to a u. S. Senate hearing. Their complaint . That Rock Lyrics and Music Videos are crossing the line into trash and smut. We are asking the Recording Industry to voluntarily assist parents who are concerned by placing a Warning Label on music products inappropriate for younger children due to explicit sexual or violent lyrics. In the 80s these artists who were pushing boundaries in different ways were bringing those messages and images into our homes. And that provided a political opportunity to push back against it. We can say theyre senators wives, ooh, and theyre messing around in washington. But they obviously have some real concerns. Theres a lot that they do that i applaud because they are taking responsibility as citizens. I brought along two videos which i believe are representative of the kind of presentation that have caused the furor. Got It Bad, got It Bad, got It Bad im hot for teacher ive got It Bad, so bad whos going to decide whats a sexual content of a lyric . Whos going to decide what is obscene . Same housewives who are spearheading the movement . In all candor, i would tell you its outrageous filth and that if i could find some way constitutionally to do away with it i would. Fans felt im capable of making my own decisions about the music i want to listen, to i dont need Tipper Gore deciding that this is too obscene for me. The next witness will be mr. Frank zappa. The establishment of a Rating System voluntary or otherwise opens the door to an endless parade of moral Quality Control programs based on things certain christians dont like. I think you should leave it up to the parent because not all parents want to keep their children totally ignorant. Yeah, you and i would differ on Whats Ignorance and educated. The women didnt get the Rating System they wanted. But they did get a commitment to begin applying a printed inscription on the packaging of albums, cassettes, and Music Videos warning that they contain blatant explicit lyrics. Good Rock And Roll breaks all the rules. Okay . Thats just the way it is. Thats the way it always has been. Elvis presley was not good for the children either. Good morning, everybody. Im very pleased to announce Live Aid, which without a doubt will be the largest Pop Concert ever held. Live aid was the brainchild of Bob Geldof and midge ur.

Come on baby get in the road Come On now in the middle road yeah watching Live Aid on tv was my version of driving to woodstock. And i watched every second of it. Everybody has a right to be free saying you dont have to live like a refugee dont have to live like a refugee all we hear is radio Ga Ga RadioGoo Goo RadioGa Ga the great thing about Live Aid, it showed that musicians for me seemed to be the most altruistic people in the world.

Rap music began in harlem and the South Bronx on playgrounds like this one where people would gather to spin records and then recite their own lyrics, their raps, over the instrumental sections. Come on now The Breaks was curtis blows biggest hit, selling 680,000 copies last year and hitting the top of the rhythm and blues sales charts. As a young kid running around with a local Dj Crew i watched the transition from all the Disco Music we used to play at the block parties to slowly and surely hiphop taking over. The Music Underneath Rapping is called scratching, and its a process of using two turntables and a mixer making new sounds out of already existing albums. Thing that gave life to music in the 80s for me was hiphop because it took The Sounds of the 60s and 70s and brought it to the forefront. A child is born with no State Of Mind blind to the ways of mankind only god knows what you go through The Message was the first Hiphop Song that wasnt just a party song. It was talking about what was going on. It was talking about urban decay. It was talking about drugs, crime, prison. All these things that were hitting these communities really hard. Smugglers scramblers, burglars, gamblers you say im cool when The Message hit it was put that down, what did he just say . Put the record back. Play that again dont push me because im close to the Edge Everyone knew the game of changed, and it really opened the floodgates for the next generation of rappers. Its not Michael Jackson when rundmc came out, they were taking Rock And Roll music and putting it together with hiphop and making Something Brand new out of it. You cant touch me with an Eightfoot Pole Rundmc kind of led zeppelinized hiphop because it was fit for an arena, knocking the scoreboard down. Little skirt hanging way up her knee there were three young Ladies Aerosmith had fallen off the map at that point. It brings them back into the fore and also breaks rundmc in a much bigger way because then you start to get more white kids listening to hiphop. Walk this Way Run Dmcs latest album titled run dmcs latest album titled Raising Hell has sold more than A Million copies in just 13 weeks. A first for a rap record. The album is called License To Ill thats a stupid name for an album. Wake up late for school, man, you dont want to go you ask your mom please but she still says no hiphop was our baby. This was our culture. This was our music. We created it. And then here come the Beastie Boys and we were afraid we were going to lose it. You got to fight for your right to party then when we started listening to their music they really were funky and they could really get busy. So we were like, okay, all right. I love Brass Monkey but Beastie Boys come out with what people thought would be a pop hiphop group. It was straight hiphop. Beastie boys was dope, if you know what i mean. Brass monkey that funky Monkey License to ill really spread like wildfire and introduced a lot of people to hiphop culture. Can you give us some definitions of the lls in your name . Ll stands for long and lean lover of ladies last of the red hot lovers Looking for a little. Just a lot of ls. The guys only be talking about yourself. How much of a lover, how the women love him to death, how they can throw down, how good they can dance. How bad they are. Nobody better not mess with me and all of that kind of foolishness. If they were to address the issues, the issues being poverty, the issues being not having political power. You see what im saying . All of these issues, they should be addressing this with their energy. Planet earth it was my place of Birth Rakim is the god mc. He singlehandedly changed the phrasing of Rap Music and hiphop. He came to the world like a poet. Hard on the boulevard i never get scarred i learned different rhythms listening to jazz. I learned different rhythms. So i kind of incorporated that in my rhyme style. Not just the regular doom, doom, doom. I was in between, doodoom, doodoom, doodoom see all there is to see before. Im trying to set an example for the little kids, know what im saying. Got to teach the babies, know what im saying, try to lead them in the right path. The summer of 1987, Rebel Without A Pause comes out. It was a call to arms, it was The Sound of anger, it was The Sound of something boiling under. Public enemy literally said we want to be musics worst nightmare. Public enemys extreme politics has meant almost no radio air play, even on black stations. Its rap for a reason. They call it a mind revolution. A rebel in his own Mind Rebel without a pause was heavily influenced by rakim and heavily influenced by what was just going on.
