In this “highly entertaining snapshot of a wild-frontier moment in pop culture” (Rolling Stone), discover the wild and explosive true story of the early years of MTV directly from the original VJs. Nina Blackwood, Mark Goodman, Alan Hunter, and Martha Quinn (along with the late J. J. Jackson) had front-row seats to the music television revolution—and to the wild antics of pop music icons like Adam Ant, Cyndi Lauper, Madonna, and Duran Duran. As the first VJs on the fledgling network, they lived the behind-the-scenes reality of a media phenomenon that defined 1980s pop culture and launched a new music video era. From partying with David Lee Roth to flying on Bob Dylan’s private jet, these pioneers captured unforgettable rock star stories in a whirlwind of sound, style, and excess. More than just a collection of behind-the-scenes music stories, VJ is a candid MTV memoir and VJ oral history that doubles as a coming-of-age in the 1980s saga. Through the lens of New Wave, controversy, and hairspray, this addictive book documents how a crazy moment sparked a full-blown pop culture revolution.

In this “highly entertaining snapshot of a wild-frontier moment in pop culture” (Rolling Stone), discover the wild and explosive true story of the early years of MTV directly from the original VJs. Nina Blackwood, Mark Goodman, Alan Hunter, and Martha Quinn (along with the late J. J. Jackson) had front-row seats to a cultural revolution—and the hijinks of pop music icons like Adam Ant, Cyndi Lauper, Madonna, and Duran Duran—as the first VJs on the fledgling network MTV. From partying with David Lee Roth to flying on Bob Dylan’s private jet, they were on a breakneck journey through a music revolution. Boing beyond the compelling behind the scenes tales of this unforgettable era, VJ is also a coming-of-age story about the 1980s, its excesses, controversies, and everything in between. “At last—the real inside story of the MTV explosion that rocked the world, in all its giddy excess, from the video pioneers who saw all the hair, drugs and guitars up close. VJ is the wild, hilarious, addictive tale of how one crazy moment changed pop culture forever” (Rob Sheffield, New York Times bestselling author).
