I was 12 years old living in Kingsport, TN - I was lucky enough to have cable in my room, and I DID watch the first couple hours of MTV with a couple friends. Our local cable company promoted it. I remember one of the videos played in the first hour was "Love Stinks" by J. Geils Band. I watched many, MANY hours of MTV (before it starting sucking ass), and remember my parents telling me to "turn that trash off and go to bed". But that wasn't a problem.... Good ol' Martha Quinn was the involuntary recipient of a few Ferret "pillow-humps" in those days
