(here is the passage)
"ladies and gentlemen, rock 'n' roll.”

MTV went on the air with those words, a minute after midnight on Aug. 1, 1981. The first video was, of course, “Video Killed the Radio Star,” by the Buggles.

Few people saw the fledgling
network; it was carried by cable operators in Kansas City, but not New York or Los Angeles. But within a couple of years, MTV had grown into a behemoth

of the music industry.

Craig Marks and Rob Tannenbaum have compiled a new oral history of the network, I Want My MTV: The Uncensored Story of the Music Video Revolution.

Tannenbaum tells weekends on All Things Considered host Laura Sullivan that when MTV was launched, music videos were almost unknown.

“In fact, if you had said to someone in 1981, 'Do you want to watch a music video?' the person would have said, 'I don't know what you're talking about,' because the phrase didn't actually exist.”

MTV struggled during its first few years. Conservative

cable operators often refused to carry the channel.

“They thought that MTV was a bunch of coked-up rock and roll fiends, and they were right in a way,” Marks says.

The company was just a few bad months away from going under, until several ad executives cooked up what became a legendary ad campaign featuring rock stars yelling, “I want my MTV!”

“That really was the turning point, that and Thriller were the two things that kept the network afloat,” Marks says.

Thriller caused a controversy at lily-white

MTV. The network came under fire for its lack of black artists, but executives worried that their viewers just wouldn't like Michael Jackson. They changed their tune once the ratings came in.

“They weren't idiots,” Tannenbaum says. “Once they saw the ratings go up, they realized that they could program black musicians.”

Jackson led to Lionel Richie, Billy Ocean and other black musicians, though leery

network executives had to be persuaded all over again when rap became popular.

MTV's impact was immense during the 1980s. It made artists like Madonna and Guns N' Roses into stars. But if you turn on MTV today, you'll have a hard time finding any videos at all. The network began to back away from playing music videos in 1992, the year Marks and Tannenbaum chose to end their book.

“One of the signature things that happened that year was that Bill Clinton was a constant presence on MTV in 1990-91, and he was elected president,” Tannenbaum says.

“Once you've helped elect a U.S. president, are you gonna go back to playing Winger videos?” Marks adds.

That year also marked the debut of the first reality show, The Real World, which had a huge impact on the television industry.

“It's very easy to trace the line from The Real World to Snooki,” Tannenbaum says. “It's an alcoholic, crooked line all the way there, but MTV quickly realized and learned that narrative television, even reality TV, rated better than music videos.”

Other networks jumped on the reality show bandwagon.

“I think The Real World was the last point where MTV could be considered revolutionary,” Tannenbaum says.

Insomnia is the inability to fall asleep or to maintain a restful
sleep throughout the night. People who suffer from insomnia-
also called insomniacs—often experience decreased energy,
mood swings, and difficulty performing well in school and work
activities. This sleep disorder can last for days, weeks, or years.
People who suffer from this disorder can experience early
insomnia (difficulty falling asleep), middle insomnia (waking up in
the middle of the night), or late insomnia (waking up earlier than
desired)
There is not one single cause for insomnia. Some insomniacs
experience sleep disturbances because of depression, anxiety, or
a mental illness. Other times, insomnia is caused by outside
influences such as a noisy sleeping environment, a lack of
exercise, or too much caffeine ingested during the day. Often a
doctor will investigate a patient's lifestyle and sleeping habits as a
first step in diagnosing the cause of his or her insomnia.
Insomnia can be treated in many different ways, and most
often, lifestyle changes are recommended by doctors. Some of
the most commonly suggested home remedies for insomnia are
sticking to a sleep schedule, avoiding naps during the day,
removing electronic devices and bright lights from the bedroom,
and drinking warm milk before attempting sleep. If insomnia
persists or begins to negatively impact the sufferer's life, medical
attention should be sought.
