My first "World Premiere" music video

Our daughter recently watched the 2010 VMAs on MTV. It got me to thinking...

I remember when I used to be psyched to watch this yearly television event. Back then I had a good idea of the MTV music scene and I had my favorites that I wanted to win. This is back when MTV was targeting me and my peers as their audience. I was too young (and my parents didn't have full cable with MTV early on) to watch the first popular videos by the innovators (Michael Jackson and Madonna). I do remember when they came out with videos for their Bad and Like a Prayer albums. There was anticipation for the premiere of these artists videos.

To the point...I remember when music videos were a big deal and not something that you had to search YouTube or On Demand in order to discover cool ones. The first video that I remember seeing the "world premiere" of was the first single from The Joshua Tree. Enjoy the tune!






I wish it didn't have a commercial attached.
