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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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