So digital didn't kill the music star

We seem to be in agreement: music isn't dead because of change, music is changed because of change.

Click here for a look at the first music video ever played on MTV. There was a time when we all thought video would in fact kill radio. Well, radio is still alive and (sort of) well, while MTV has become some weird channel dominated by reality programing, and little, if any, music.

Watching that video makes my a tad nostalgic for the early 80s, when I was a young college boy working in a record store. The production values seem kind of quaint in today's world of CGI. Watch and enjoy The Buggles.

I'll have another post up on our next chapter later this evening. Next week is midterm week.
