Music in the early 80s was produced increasingly with a video in mind. I picked up a copy of Cars Heartbeat City. "You Might Think" won the first MTV Video Music Award for Video of the Year in 1984. Good album overall. Took me back a few years.

Devil or not, Cable moved into this area the month the wife and I moved closer to town,
Satellite TV was in this area, high school buddy had it, and the video channels played a lot of what is now called alternative, then was called New Wave, (depeche mode, cure, etc)
Now who didn't want to climb up those stairs after her?

Another “Unplugged” performance with Rod Stewart and Ron Wood. I think this is outstanding!
