8:14 pm
artists in the 80s and david bowie for that matter, realized if you want to make it, you got to be on mtv. >> but there's one group that's not happy with mtv. >> many black artists who have been told their music doesn't fit the format. that's what's happening. we're being sat in the back of the bus, television style, and if pittman gets away with this and there are other cable shows that form, they're going to try it mtv doesn't exclude black acts what mtv does exclude is music. >> that's not rock n roll. >> mtv came out with no consideration on how to infuse black music into their mix. >> i'm just floored by the fact that there's so many, so few black artists featured on it. why is that we have to try and do what we think. >> not only new york and los angeles will appreciate but also some town in the midwest that will be scared to death by prince or a string of other black faces. >> interesting. okay. thank you very much. >> when are we going to see anybody of color on mtv?
8:15 pm

8:16 pm
he was sitting on the couch by the end of it, you were on the floor in front of the tv. you couldn't believe what you were seeing i will say that the moonwalk was really one of the first viral moments that affected rock history. >> the next week, thriller started selling a million copies a week i like michael jackson because because he's good, he's bad. >> he knows how to dance. >> he's so sexy and so gorgeous. >> it's exciting. michael jackson is the man of the 80s. >> mtv starts to get pressure from cbs records, which was michael jackson's label rock n roll in itself really was the thing that broke a lot of rules. >> and when you're very successful, you try to make your own rules occasionally, as the story goes, cbs essentially said, we will pull every other artist we have on mtv if you don't play this, they had to be essentially blackmailed into doing it it doesn't matter who's wrong or right, just beat it. >> beat it. >> he was the artist that mtv really needed they didn't know they needed him. but boy when
8:17 pm
we started to see those, michael jackson videos, it was just unbelievable. no one's gonna. >> then there's a domino effect suddenly you see prince videos from warner brothers do the same thing. so tonight party like it's 1999. >> lisa prince wasn't just a materializing out of nowhere. where was he before this video was done? >> well, prince was a huge star on black radio stations. i mean, people he had a real underground cult following and he was a very sexy, hot performer the sweat of your body covers me can you? >> my darling? can you picture prince loved the idea that he was taking his punk funk music and turning it on to a white audience, and that wouldn't have happened if not for mtv this is what it sounds like when doves cry. >> when i was younger, i always said that one day i was going to play all kinds of music and not be judged for the color of my skin, but the quality of my

8:19 pm
which is why we haven't done too much of the video thing. a lot of it is it allows too much distance, like what our band is about is about breaking down distance at night bruce was all about credibility and intelligence and integrity so how would he translate his music and his attitude toward the world to what seemed like this frivolous world of the music video? >> bruce is not going to be next to a winking model on a sailboat. you can't start fire you can't start a fire without a spark this gun's for hire. he ends up doing essentially an in concert video starring a then unknown courteney cox. it's like this weird recreation of something that organically happens in a bruce springsteen concert born in the usa. if there was an artist in the 80s who transcended the music video, he's the guy. he's the one guy who didn't actually need to do great music videos
