MTV debuted on August 1st, 1981, and I remember it well.

Sitting there with my new wife in our very small Bangor High Street apartment watching MTV on Adams-Russell cable.  It was quite thrilling to watch music videos back to back for the first time.

So of those videos are very hard to forget.  Hey, who would want to?

One was "Kids In America" by Kim Wilde who is celebrating her 54th birthday today!

When I think of MTV's beginning, I think of these videos from the 80s.  They're my favorites. What are yours?

Let me know IN THE COMMENTS SECTION BELOW, on the I-95 FACEBOOK PAGE, email me at I95@MidMaine.com or call me in the studio at 991-9713, and I may play your song today during “A Whole Lotta Lunch” at 12 noon!
