the MTV video was quite a flashback for me. I remember when i was younger MTV was all music videos. Now there is mostly reality television and corney celebrity shows. Its actually leaning towards VH1 nowadays. It was awesome waking up for school to calming music videos back to back in th mornings.
The Pop view article talks alot about how MTV used to be before it morphed into its modern state. it talks about how MTV influenced a new culture of music videos and dancing. it also goes on to explain how visuals with music are obviously more popular and pleasing than audio alone. MTV was basically a radio station with visual images. i really agree with the statement made in the article saying that MTV "made a generation comfortable with moving to the beat."this article really talks about how different music genres and parts of industry were developed and made popular. Rock music for example influenced fashion trends in society. this also brought along critics as well.
the buddy holly peice was interesting because it showed how looks can get in the way of your message and purpose of being heard. looks should necessarily be considered most important, is the point i think the peice is trying to get at, but instead the words and message should be.
