MTV turns 33! Reality has set in, and we miss those music videos – Entertainment – TODAY.com

MTV turns 33! Reality has set in, and we miss those music videos – Entertainment – TODAY.com.

As I remember it!

I lived in Parma, Ohio USA. And I came home just in time to see the launching of MTV! I knew then it was going to be different. The music videos fantastic. I just sat there. Mesmerized! It had the music news, VJ’s, Commercials, More music videos. The whole night! I just sat there.,

 

As I understood it! The music videos were originally called Promotional Videos” When MTV got them! They became “Music Videos”. The record Companies gave them the videos for free. As I heard it! When MTV cleared a profit! The record Companies wanted a piece of the pie. When J. J. Jackson was on. Everyone thought that he was the guy who did the song “It’s all right”.  He was not. There were spin-offs of MTV as well!

 

For a guy who was raised on rock-n-roll! I loved the new music! This! Was when there was break dancing going on. Then! The rap came. Then there was a little bit of a problem! It was the content of the rap that was the problem. But the artist claim “Artistic Expression”. And we know the rest.

 

I think the real problem might have been boredom in watching music videos all day/night! That did MTV in. If that was the case! Then why would they people behind MTV! Create VH-1? But! The same happened to it as well.

 

Fifty Years Ago Today: The Beatles’ A Hard Day’s Night | TIME

Fifty Years Ago Today: The Beatles’ A Hard Day’s Night | TIME.

 

I remember this movie. When I was 8 yrs. old! When it came out I asked my mom about buying a 45 rpm of the song(s). She said “NO!”

Clearly! she did not care for them. Later she did buy me one 45 but it was that of George Martin and his instrumental versions of that boy & I love her. Then later she did buy me two 45’s. of the songs A Hard day’s night and the “B” side was I should have known better and the other And I love her and The “B” side was If I fell.

It was not until NBC decided to air the movie in primetime! I asked my mom if I could see it? Again! She said “NO”! It was not until cable came along that I did see it!

BE YOURSELF! NOT! SOMEONE ELSE(‘S)!

This! Is something no one ever even thought of to be! Because! We were not taught to do/be.

It’s not fitting in, belonging, being/looking “Cool”, carbon copying someone else to be like someone else. Because when you compromise yourself! You lose yourself and become in reality! Fair game to anyone/everyone’s follower when there is no one to follow. Being yourself does not mean you become a loner all your life. In the long & short of it! It does attract people who want to know someone who is themselves and want to get to know them with the possibility of being friends with that person.

A great example is from Joyce Mayer, here is the article link:,http://www.joycemeyer.org/Articles/ea.aspx?article=how_to_succeed_at_being_yourself .

During the beatnik generation! It was cool to be cool by choice not by standards set by society/world.to be yourself you have to be yourself! Accept you for whom you are. If others cannot? You are not missing anything from the person(s). You have to be able to live for you. Yes! You will make mistakes but that comes with the world we live in. How else are you going to learn what works? And what does not?

,In order to even learn Philosophy 101! The one prerequisite to learn it! ,Is to be your own person! If you cannot be your own person! Then you cannot learn “Philosophy” .

 

The way to your own person is. You have to be willing to take some risks in being yourself. It is hard when you have been trying to fit in for so many years.

You have to think for yourself, do for yourself, believe in yourself, know what you know because you know what you know. Do not listen to those who will tell you that you cannot do this/that. You will always encounter naysayers, deterrents. Losers! Love losers! They want someone to drown with them in their own pity. Feeling they cannot make it in this world so they think that they have to stay in their station in life. They want to! But! At the same time! Either do not or are not willing to make something out of themselves or their situation at all.

Hang around these people and they will drown you quicker than a bad alternator drains a car battery! Losers are followers! You have to find people who are positive and stick with them and you to have to do your job to them up as well.

You have to think for yourself as well. Through education and always keep up with the fast paced information. And not let others do you’re thinking for you. This! Is where a lot of people let happen to them. We let others do our thinking for us. And what happens? We end up being no better then they are!

We have dreams, objectives, plans, goals desires in our lives. But! Something happened along the way. When we got our first job! We ended up settling in! And there we stayed. As time went on. We lost our desires, needs, ,wants, in our life. When we see/hear about other that we either know or heard about We get jealous, envious about them.

And what do we do? We end up living the rest of our lives in the land of: “Would have!” “Could have!” “Should have!” But! Did not!
In our life and time! We become petrified by “POLITICAL CORRECTNESS!” We have to be mega careful in what we think, say, do to others. I have told people that the real definition of it is not what you or others think it is. I get looks of just short of being called a “Smart ass” No problem there!!!!

Not the first! Not the last!

Breaking away just enough from the mainstream and mindlessness! Is like quitting tobacco. Hard to stop and go in another direction. But! It can be done. The real question is: “Do you want to do it?” You may lose friends but you can also gain friends. These will be the one’s who you just might happen to like!
