Nina Blackwood, Mark Goodman, Alan Hunter, and Martha Quinn (along with the late J. J. Jackson) had front-row seats to the music television revolution--and to the wild antics of pop music icons like Adam Ant, Cyndi Lauper, Madonna, and Duran Duran. As the first VJs on the fledgling network, they lived the behind-the-scenes reality of a media phenomenon that defined 1980s pop culture and launched a new music video era. From partying with David Lee Roth to flying on Bob Dylan's private jet, these pioneers captured unforgettable rock star stories in a whirlwind of sound, style, and excess. More than just a collection of behind-the-scenes music stories, VJ is a candid MTV memoir and VJ oral history that doubles as a coming-of-age in the 1980s saga. Through the lens of New Wave, controversy, and hairspray, this addictive book documents how a crazy moment sparked a full-blown pop culture revolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNina Blackwood was one of the first MTV VJs and is a radio host on SiriusXM Satellite Radio's Big 80s channel and host of two radio shows nationally syndicated by the United Stations Radio Networks, \"Absolutely80s\" and \"New Wave Nation.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMark Goodman was one of the first MTV VJs and is a radio host on SiriusXM Satellite Radio's Big 80s channel. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlan Hunter was one of the first MTV VJs and is a radio host on SiriusXM Satellite Radio's Big 80s channel. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMartha Quinn was one of the first MTV VJs and is a radio host on SiriusXM Satellite Radio's Big 80s channel. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGavin Edwards is the author of five books on music.
