LA RADIO LE GANA A MTV ! ! ! ! !
PRACTIQUEN SU INGLES PORQUE ESTE BLOG ES BILINGUE!!!!
Radio so rarely wins a victory over television that it would be a shame not to point out that it just did.
When MTV formally acknowledged the obvious - that it is no longer a music channel - it was also symbolically acknowledging that video did not kill the radio star.
The Buggles were wrong.
"Video Killed the Radio Star" by the Buggles, you might remember, was the first video MTV played, on Aug. 1, 1981.
The message of the song was that henceforth, pop music would become a visual as much as an audio medium. This and subsequent generations would know music as something they both heard and saw, and a song without an accompanying visual would be marginalized.
Important note: MTV itself never made that declaration. The MTV party line was that television and radio could work together, promoting and enhancing the other.
But MTV wasn't just some wide-eyed innocent. While it never had huge viewership, it was widely considered a predator, both from its swift business moves to head off any competition and from the splashy way it was pushing sometimes controversial music to impressionable youth.
Even before MTV played rap, or any black music at all, critics accused the channel of debasing America by spreading lewd, suggestive images of half-naked women and worse.
On the other side of the spectrum, some music fans accused MTV of promoting a product that sucked the magic out of songs by pre-empting the listener's imagination.
Fierce debates sprang up over whether, for instance, Bruce Springsteen had sold out in 1984 when he finally released his first video, "Dancing in the Dark."
And all the while, some media futurists kept insisting pop music had already changed from an audio to a visual medium - which would soon diminish or destroy radio, as television itself was supposed to do in the early 1950s.
In fact, MTV's official party line was correct. Radio and MTV together helped create the mid-1980s golden age of popular music, with artists from Springsteen to Prince to Cyndi Lauper and Madonna. And, of course, Michael Jackson, who danced to the top, both on the radio and on MTV.
This proved two things: Music television was here to stay and so was radio.
And now? MTV is doing fine. Its television video children are doing fine. Yes, they have spawned pop stars whose appeal was 98% visual and 2% musical. We have survived them.
In 2010, the age of iPods, Facebook, Twitter and viral culture, most fans still get their new pop music from the radio. Even better, most fans still listen to songs first and watch them second.
Three decades after the Buggles, the radio star is doing fine.
