Cable TV Moves to the Music

by Andrew Yarrow

Excerpt from article

The Go-Go's glide along in a flashing red convertible while the rock band's lead singer, Belinda Carlisle, sings its hit, 'Our Lips Are Sealed." ... The image soon soon flashes to a loft studio where a video jockey - or 'veejay' a cross between a disc jockey and a TV emcee - announces what has just been played on MTV.

MTV is one of the latest programming innovations and one of the most dynamic...cable systems.

The 24-hour video music channel features programming by rock musicians interspersed with interviews in the station's studio, live performances, music and concert news.

MTV was introduced August 1981. It now has close to 5 million subscribers geared to 12-34 year olds.

Okay, but can they Play Mozart

Excerpt from article...

The Go-Go's are five gutzy, determined musicians banded together by their search for the elusive ultimate time. they are one of the bounciest, poppiest, most danceable outfits around. They are also the five most energetic, sexy young women ever to lay down a melody.

The Vacation album is a real piece of musical work. It is also the Go-Go's best album since their debut album Beauty and the Beast. ...A. Munro Mississauga.
