“The 80s were a time of great music, great fashion, and great hair.”

“We weren't journalists. We were fans with the best seats in the house.”

“We were really just flying by the seat of our pants. There was no blueprint. We were making it up as we went along.”

“MTV was a cultural phenomenon. It changed the way we experienced music.”

“Video really did kill the radio star, for a little while anyway. It changed everything.”

“I'm so proud to have been a part of something that meant so much to so many people.”

“It was just a wonderful time. Everybody was so creative and it was like the world was our oyster.”

“I was a rock 'n' roll kid. I grew up with rock 'n' roll. That was my thing.”

“The artists were just as excited as we were. It was a new frontier for everyone.”
