David Bowie: “Why are there practically no blacks on the network?” Mark Goodman: “We seem to be doing music that fits into what we want to play on MTV. The company is thinking in terms of narrowcasting.” David Bowie: “There seem to be a lot of black artists making very good videos that I’m surprised aren’t being used on MTV.” Mark Goodman: “We have to try and do what we think not only New York and Los Angeles will appreciate, but also Poughkeepsie or the Midwest. Pick some town in the Midwest which would be scared to death by… a string of other black faces, or black music. We have to play music we think an entire country is going to like, and certainly we’re a rock and roll station.” David Bowie: “Don’t you think it’s a frightening predicament to be in?” Mark Goodman:“Yeah, but no less so here than in radio.” David Bowie: “Don’t say, ‘Well, it’s not me, it’s them.’ Is it not possible it should be a conviction of the station and of the radio stations to be fair… to make the media more integrated?”

Everyone’s making the sign on the V. The battle is over. The question everyone’s asking is when’s the next happening?

This is why I like pouring beer into glasses: otherwise my hands get covered in wet bottle labels.

There once was a man from Updog / Who took a vacation in Prague / He met someone new / Who said “what’s up with you?” / And the man was like, “oh I get it now”

Because I could not stop for updog / He kindly stopped for me
