Discover the wild and explosive true story of the early years of MTV, directly from the original VJs. Nina Blackwood, Mark Goodman, Alan Hunter, and Martha Quinn were at the forefront of a cultural revolution, with front-row seats to the hijinks of pop music icons like Adam Ant, Cyndi Lauper, Madonna, and Duran Duran. From partying with David Lee Roth to flying on Bob Dylan's private jet, the VJs were on a breakneck journey through a music revolution. This is a coming-of-age story about the 1980s, its excesses, controversies, and everything in between. Get the inside story of the MTV explosion that rocked the world, in all its giddy excess.
