Book about early MTV, including words from Stewart Copeland

[DirtyMartini]

"With the release of _MTV Ruled The World: The Early Days of Music Video_, author Greg Prato has written a amazingly comprehensive oral history featuring over 70 interviews with both the talent from that era of MTV and a plethora of the A-list artists featured on the channel during the time period. Police drummer Stewart Copeland, Ann Wilson of Heart, Chuck D of Public Enemy, Daryl Hall and John Oates and Jerry Casale of Devo are just a few of the many artists that spoke with Prato for the book."

the Police Archive (on facebook on its own site) has a contract the p'leece signed relating to MTV rights.

Interesting stuff, especially when you see that gordo has signed it "STRING"!

He would frequently sign 'string' on such documents. Apparently typical of a man who, despite recent evidence, evidently didn't take himself too seriously back then........

All the stuff I read and my takeaway is -- there is a KISS casket?! Really?! That is kind of awesome. I might have to make something ridiculous like that part of my final wishes.

What I took away from that was, is it a book about MTV or a book about KISS?
