I was 8 years old when MTV launched in 1981, and it changed my life. I am a child of the '80s and have an extremely wide range of musical genres that i like and have influenced me to this day. I was soooooo disappointed tonight when surfing and came across MTV. It apparently is now a movie station...Movie TV? Ugh it kills me...i know it's been gone for a while, but i never realized how far...
