Mostly candid reflections-some complimentary, others conflicting-provide a real sense of what MTV was like before Snooki took over.
But this oral history, as told by a star-studded cast of recording artists and industry insiders, is really the story of guys like John Lack, Bob Pittman and Les Garland-“the suits” behind the scenes who rolled the big record companies for all they were worth and revolutionized the way the world got its music, at least for a while. The Material Girl, The Boss and The King of Pop all helped define what MTV was for most viewers during the 1980s. The architects of MTV get more play than Madonna and company in this outrageous yet surprisingly lucid account of the cable channel’s defiant first decade of decadence.
