Happy 30th birthday, MTV. Seems like just yesterday that WE ACTUALLY WATCHED MTV. In reality, for most of us, it's been about 20 years since we cared much about the network. What we loved most about MTV -- music videos -- disappeared and so did our interest. (Read my story about this sadness.)

While we ponder our Lost Youth, I'd like to take you on a walk through amnesia lane. Thanks to suggestions from our friends on the Stuck in the '80s Facebook page, here are ...
