Forty one years and four days ago, a fledgling cable channel debuted with footage of a rocket launch. As the astronaut exited the craft, he hoisted a flag with the channel's logo, and Warner Cable executive John Lack announced "Ladies and gentlemen, rock and roll."
The first video aired on MTV was "Video Killed the Radio Star" by British new wave artists The Buggles.
In 1998, Seattle, Washington guitbass and basitar trio The Presidents of the United States of America covered the groundbreaking marriage of modern music and imagery for the soundtrack of "The Wedding Singer."
