@cherokeepatti I was, and still am, into '80s music; it was insane fun, and the fantasy telling the song's story.

@TexChik Yeah I remember that. I was so disappointed after we got our house and we got cable tv (never had it before), nothing good on MTV by then.

@cherokeepatti The really good MTV lasted about 8 years, then they got greedy and it wall went everywhere except good

@Nitedoc I got that feeling decades ago. Thinking about how things were when I was born on a farm in Missouri in the 50’s. Every thing has changed. Call me nostalgic for thinking about it that way but it is how I feel about it.

@cherokeepatti Those were fine times back then.

@Nitedoc my father screwed up everything. The farm was owned by my uncle and my father’s sister. He swindled them out of half of the farm using us children as bait. Ruined a good thing for us. He wasn’t living there either or helping do anything on the farm.

But I agree with you. Those times were better as far as lifestyle for most people. We were simpler, had simple homemade fun, socialized with farm families, would help each other out when we needed to, social bonds stronger and most people didn’t desire to get things that they couldn’t afford so they made do with what they had. It wasn’t a contest to see who had the best or more stuff.

@unregisteredhypercam4 mostly worse.

@TheDeathOCuHullainn Yes. Lots of "zombie" channels on modern cable TV that nobody watches. I certainly wouldn't have known about MTV shutting down had it not made the news..

@pdockal Well apparently they HAD several channels that did just that. They shut them down...
