MTV Get Off The Air 2011

so yesterday was the 30th birthday of mtv channel. and i just saw the first 10 minutes of the channel launch on youtube.this is one of a historic moment on television broadcasts. the first music television was finally born, with a symbolic music video, "Video Killed The Radio Star" by The Buggles, followed with "You Better Run" by Pat Benatar (she looked like eva spence of rolo tomassi lol). and then the original five MTV VJs in 1981 were shown: Nina Blackwood, Mark Goodman, Alan Hunter, J.J. Jackson and Martha Quinn, saying things like "musical continue non-stop on mtv music television" or "you'll never look at music the same way again" etc, quite a video-killed-a-radio-star-spirit. these guys, ironically are back into being a radio person nowadays.

i was a frequent watcher of mtv (i watch mtv indonesia one). it used to be broadcasted on antv. i like the awards show, alternative nation, cool VJs: nadya hutagalung, sarah sechan, jamie aditya, and many more. these guys was also VJ's on MTV Asia, unlike MTV Indonesia VJ nowadays. i used to dislike the Dead Kennedys song "MTV Get Off The Air" back then in Junior High School, i was like "yea whatever mr. biafra, who cares if MTV have turned rock and roll rebellion into Pat Boone sedation. who cares about tax? i least they've started a revolution. i've been dreaming about getting a cable since i was a little kid, so i can watch mtv (that's right, i used oftenly watch mtv on my relative house because i didn't have a cable TV back then. lame right lol). why did you wrote that song?" (though this song were released before i was born, i listened to this song on the radio in the year 2000 haha). until, for the last 5-6 years, mtv were gettin' lamer. reality shows are everywhere, less-music, and the music are...uhm...retarded. i feel you now Mr. Jello Biafra. everything that he said on the song is getting more reasonable these days. In the name of internet-killed-the-video-star, MTV GET OFF THE FUCKIN AIR. NOW! or at least change your name into a STTV (Stupid Teenager Television) or something.
