V FOR VIDEO KILLED THE RADIO STAR
It was the time when the significant change in the media and electronics and technology made this thought possible and the song got composed with the belief that the stars will not have their due recognition. This song is from The Buggles, an English band and it got them huge commercial success.
Albeit now the radio and TV stars are getting more recognition through Radio FM channels, sitcoms, live shows, live events, TV challenges and talent hunt’s. More people are opting for TV and even commercially successful artist are turning to it to rebuild their fame. It is so prevalent; just see the popularity of series like GoT, Friends, Sherlock etc. although I have seen only the Sherlock seasons.
My Connect
My connect is attributed to the daily travelling which gets a breather with the old classics played by a FM on the same time I leave for work and vice versa.
My Pick
As I write about the song in particular, so there are no choices to be made, here it is:
(All April I will be posting about my favourite music artist (as part of the A to Z Challenge), songs or bands and my memories around them and this will help us connect and discover new artists and music genres.)
The very first video played on MTV. In that time period, it really did kill the radio star. Now MTV shows reality tv and pregnant teens, and the stars are returning to the radio.
