I grew up on MTV back in the 80s when all they aired were videos and long before they changed their formatting to include these reality TV programs. Thank God!! I got my taste of rock. So for the next few O.S.F.s, I will be rediscovering my rock & roll roots.
Although I think MTV was “unbalanced” because of its failure to air black musicians’ videos, it did expose a generation of black teens, like myself, to music other than R&B and the emerging Rap genre.
MTV was accused of being racist, which they countered by suggesting that few black artists recorded the kind of music that MTV featured (certainly a circular argument – their playlist resulted from demographic studies of a predominantly white audience). A particularly blatant example of racial exclusion was MTV’s rejection of 5 Rick James videos even though Street Songs had sold over 4 million copies. At the time, they were playing Prince’s “Little Red Corvette.”

I Am Chocl8t 
So the babies on the sidebar are so cute. I got a little side tracked.
I think Marcus will be happy, I know he loves some Journey. I on the other hand never really got into Journey, at this time I was too busy listening to the Culture Club and the Eurythmics.
I also preferred the harder side of Rock, I listened to a lot of Guns-N-Roses, Areosmith, and Bon Jovi. You play Janie Got A Gun or Dead or Alive, I’ll get crunk.
I do like the Police, and you know the classic is “Every Breath You Take.”
Choc, I can listen to the music. They say they are no longer available. I do like Old Skool Friday, here and on the exiles blog. It’s fun. Have a great weekend.
Hey Choc,
I agree with Ms.G, I was never really a fan of Journey but I do like the Police’s “Every Breath You Take”. Soooo you wanna go outside the box huh?! I think Lisa C did Bee Gees last week.
Choc…Journey!? Faithfully is one of my very favorite karaoke songs…I used to bring the house down with this one!
::tooting my own horn::
