VJ: The Unplugged Adventures of MTV's First Wave is just $3.99 on Kindle from Amazon [amazon.com] and other retailers.

I know people usually like ebook prices to be a little lower than this to stimulate some likes, but I've had this on my amazon books wishlist for years, and this is the lowest it's been. It's also not available at my local libraries as an ebook or through Hoopla.

I read this years ago in paperback, and it's fascinating for anyone that was a kid when MTV and music videos first became a thing. I wanted the ebook version for a reread because there were so many great stories I wanted to highlight to easily find in my Kindle highlights to refer to (and regale my husband with!).

Anyway, hopefully this deal with be useful to someone besides me. Smilie

If you watched MTV or just like 80s bands, some of the stories were deliciously outrageous. It's also a reminder how different things were in the way of TV options in the 80s. IIRC, the idea of MTV was sold as a way to get people to sign up for cable tv, because you could only watch if you had cable, and most people didn't have it. The idea was that if you can get kids begging parents for cable (so they can watch MTV), more people sign up. I think this book goes into that; I've also read a book called "I Want my MTV," so I can't remember which stories came up in which book, lol. Of course, the behind-the-scenes at MTV and rock-star encounters are the most fascinating and larger part of the book, but I found all of it a fun blast from the past.
On the Internet archive there are TONS of old recordings of 80s and 90s MTV. I get absolutely lost watching this stuff

Quote from AdamX5363 :
She became a VJ and later a TV actress. She was in the last few seasons of the sci-fi show Sliders.

Aaah, she grew up and had a real life. Good for her and the guy who married her.

Man, MTV was *THE* source for music and news back in the day. I can remember sitting by the TV for world video premiers, being shocked at concert tour announcements, freaking out over interviews with music heroes...that world just doesn't exist anymore.
