"Feeling Old" 2016 Edition

[mirth]

I'm old enough to remember the first M. They only had about four music videos at the time that they played on endless loop.

That's the way it was and we liked it!

I want my OLD MTV!  :'(

Speaking of feeling old.  Weekend before last, my wife and I attended the wedding of my nephew who was but a bun in the oven at our wedding. :(  As we have no begats, I can only imagine what you GWKs (Grogs with Kids) feel when one of yours leaves the nest.

I remember Night Flight, on USA channel (IIRC). Back then there was little stylistic or thematic consistent. One minute they played Eddy Grant, the next it was Adrian Belew.

I remember Night Flight.  But does anybody remember the video show that was on Nickelodeon?

[bbmike]

I remember Night Tracks on TBS.

Up All Night?

THOSE 90s GRAPHICS THO

I had completely forgotten that "Up All Night" existed. As soon as I saw the picture though I remembered...remembered too many nights when I really should have been asleep and probably considerably more sober!

What you said reminds me of Joe Bob Briggs' MonsterVision. For me, anyway.

[Sir Slash]

Those were great shows back in the day after the bars closed and the drunks left the Clock restaurants to go home. They somehow were a lot more funny when you were drinking. Hmmmm....

I remember watching this interview on closed circuit TV in Garmisch when we lived in post housing there, and we were out of range of AFN.  The kids going to Munich High used to bring home the previous night's AFN tape and whoever was watching the desk at the Kramer Lodge for the night was responsible for popping the tape in and letting it run for 6 hours.  So everyone got the same six hours of last night's AFN from 1800-midnight on their closed circuit channel in post housing.

It was called 'Popclips' and predated MTV by six or so months.

26 years ago yesterday Iraq invaded Kuwait.

26 years ago yesterday Iraq invaded Kuwait.

The thing that blows me away about that is that it's now been longer between now and the beginning of the first Gulf War than it was between Germany invading Poland and when I was born. The idea that the First Gulf War is as far in the past to kids today as WWII was to me...amazing.
