I Want My MTV: The Uncensored Story of the Music Video Revolution
by Rob Tannenbaum, Craig Marks
Unfortunately, according to this book, MTV was totally over by 1992. I guess by the time I really got into it in 1993, I wasn't watching anything cool, I was just a big loser. It's nice that David Fincher gets a lot of play here, but it is absolutely criminal that Mark Romanek only gets mentioned twice. In my opinion, he's a much better video director and I honestly think that his Never Let Me Go could totally give anything by Fincher (except Seven) a run for its money. There is some downright hilarious stuff in here from Stevie Nicks, Aresenio Hall, Billy Idol - who knew Billy Idol was so laugh out loud funny? - and Sebastian Bach. And any thoughts you may have harbored about the size of Adam Curry's ego are apparently pretty much true!
