During my teenage years in the late 90’s, when I started learning about MTV’s origins, I always dreamed of watching the channel’s first hour. When it happened, I wasn’t even alive (I got here three years later, while Madonna was proclaiming she felt “like a virgin”). I wondered all the time what it might’ve felt to witness that historic moment back in August 1st, 1981 not only because of its importance, but because I’m an 80’s fan. That's why I would do anything to hop in a time machine and go back to that decade, and then visit the roaring 20’s.
