Awesome. Loved the book best book I ever read I love 80's on 8 and my favorite is mark Nina or Martha

Fun time in music. The early 80s were a fun time in music. I was in college then. We would take a "study break" and go to the lounge in the dorm where MTV would be on. We would stay and watch some videos. I don't really remember caring about the VJs much, though. I saw that this book was coming out and decided to read it. There is some fun stuff in it....but not enough about behind the scenes MTV. I know it's titled "VJ" but did anyone really care about these people? Also, I am not liberal or conservative, but does it really matter what these people's political views are? Blah blah blah. We just want to know more about my MTV!!!

VJ. A great look at the highs and lows of the beginnings of MTV. A must read for those of us who lived those days. Open and honest and a fun read.

Bring back the 80's. Really enjoyed this book. Brought back tons of memories, things like rushing home from school to watch the REAL MTV, not the junk that's on there now.

Good book!. It was very interesting hearing their side of the events surrounding the beginning of MTV. The days when there were actual music and videos on the station. A must read for fans of 80's music!

What A Waste of Money. This book was the most vapid, self centered thing I've read in a long time. They told you nothing and Mark Goodman told you everything.. But who cares? Don't bother. Read the other book about MTV. This was TERRIBLE.

The Glorious 80s. Absolutely essential reading for anyone who couldn't get enough of MTV back in the day. This book tells you what the vj's thought initially of each other and some of the heavy rotation artists they promoted. So much behind the scenes detail. And the pictures at the end are priceless. RIP J.J. and my original music channel.

good book. some one needs to make this an audio book i like audio books and i dont have an i pad

Essential Pop Culture. They really had no idea what they were getting into. They were there at the beginnings of MTV, when it was Music Television, a kind of 24 hour network that never existed before, and profoundly affected American culture in ways both good and bad. It's difficult to realize the impact MTV had when it was launched from the perspective of today's media rich streaming video internet environment, but the MTV VJ's found themselves becoming the faces of a media revolution when mass media still had mass. This is one of the first corporately unmediated accounts of those early days at MTV and the best to date!

MTV Generation. As someone who spent my early teens watching the early MTV non-stop, I enjoyed reading about what was going on behind the scenes. I found the book to be honest, light and fun...until the end. It became sad, and a reminder that we often miss what truly matters in life.

MTV in Black & White. If you grew up with MTV as I did, you will enjoy reading this book to get to know the VJ's and dynamics they went through as MTV started, continued and changed through the years.

MTV Redux. This was a surprisingly fun, insightful read that quite literally brought me back to a great period in my own life. Martha, Mark, Nina and Alan are effective and authentic storytellers and this was just a nice, nostalgic read. Rock on! And R-I-P JJ.

VJ The first wave of MTV. Great book!Interesting on how they got their start and some of their stories are endearing.Also takes you back to the good ole days of MTV.Condolences to J.J's Family,friends and fellow VJs.Want to say this,as a viewer of The MTV early years.I think the VJs were equally important as the channel was.Without that personal connection,not sure it would have had the same special impact...Just my opinion .

Not overly exciting... Compared to other bios from the era, these anecdotes are pretty tame. Either the VJ's are not that great of story-tellers, or the stories are not that great to tell. I'm not sure what I expected, but I feel like there was so much more that could have been shared by the VJ's... Events like Live Aid, the US Festival, and VMA's deserved more than a few weak pages... Those were monumental events that defined the era, and were filled with legendary musicians. I hoped that they would have had a bigger effect on the lives of those that were in the heart of these events, and that they would have shared more about it.
