Poor Billy Squire.

I was born in 1982, so I missed a lot of the early history of MTV. It was good to fill in a lot of holes in my pop culture knowledge.

A lot of fun to read the book and watch the videos knowing a lot of the backstory behind them.

This book is a great read for anyone who loves the music video scene, particularly of the 80s. I stayed interested for most of the book with only very few parts getting too wordy for me. It goes into great detail about how early music videos were created. Be warned though, it is not a politically correct book. It’s describing in detail the attitudes and lifestyles of rising rock stars in the 80s; and it’s done through interviews with those rock stars, a lot of whom haven’t changed their mindsets. Women were objectified and racism was rampant.
Also, 85% of the book talks about the 80s. It’s touts itself as a book that follows the music video era from start to finish, but there is only one quick chapter devoted to 90-94 music. I certainly felt the music video scene of the early 90s deserved more attention than what it got, considering the amount of attention paid to Paula Abdul and Flock of Seagulls’ hair.
Either way, if you’re a big music buff (especially classic rock) like I am, then you will enjoy this read.

The longest book (that shouldn't have been long) that I've ever read. Some interesting stories, but could benefit from a "Greatest Hits" edition.
