A lot of bands were really hesitant to jump on the bandwagon. Bruce Springsteen was really late joining the ranks of MTV.
A regret I have was never being able to interview George Harrison. I just loved him but I never had a chance to interview him.
Absolute 80's is three hours of mainstream 80's music. I also do New Wave Nation that is more cutting edge. It is more punk stuff from the 70's to the 90's.
Because I was the blonde, I was promoted as the video vixen.
Christopher Guest movies are my top of the line favorites.
Driving down Laurel Canon, which is a major street that goes between the Santa Monica Mountains to the Hollywood Strip, was neat.
Even though the money is probably better, I'm much prouder of being in Vice Squad than in some stupid sitcom where the dialogue is so asinine that it's an insult to even turn it on for five seconds.
First of all, you needed a budget to do the video. The record companies would pick and choose who got videos.
I am a curious person and, believe it or not, I really do like to sit back and listen to people's stories.
I am like the little rock n' roll backseat driver.
I could not do the film Spinal Tap because I was already at MTV and it was occupying all my time.
I do get a big kick out of radio though.
I get real excited when I hear my shows on the radio.
I grew up in Ohio, and I was a musicologist since I was little; it is all that I would ever read.
I had known Jeff Albright for many years from when he was a publicist and I was doing interviews with his clients.
I had never been to the big house where the Rolling Stones stayed. I always knew of Blue Jay Way but I never knew where it was.
I have two syndicated radio shows though United Stations Radio Network.
I think because we were there when it was a very knew and different form of television, we are forever going to be linked with MTV and video music.
I think I regard the film differently now than Wings does, but I thought Ginger was a good little character and a good way to start a career.
I walked into this empty hall and there was Eric Clapton onstage, doing a sound check. I got to have my own personal concert.
I was in the pilot for Spinal Tap before it was a movie.
I worked with three people who were doing video music shows before MTV.
I'm a little bit to the left of things anyway.
If I have my choice and the money is the same, I'll always take the darker stuff.
Interviewing people is pretty natural for me.
My reading is always about musical biographies. I have an innate interest and passion for that.
Now that the 90's are over and more time has gone by, the 80's sound fresh again.
People that really know me will tell you that I am not a video vixen.
The hardest and worst interview that I have ever done was with Frank Zappa.
The heyday of video music was the mid 80's.
The thing that they were more freaked out was that I had done a spread for Playboy years before, and as Playboy always does, they exploit the exploitation and re-release different pictures.
We put all these things together into a tangible product that is The Rock N' Roll Mystery Tour.
When I worked for Entertainment Tonight I got to emcee Paul McCartney's press conference.
When you are young your imagination is so clear.
