MTV had a huge effect on my life. Not these days when they no longer play music videos but back in the day when it all first started - When the 'Buggles' first informed us of what was at that time a prophetic truth - that 'video killed the radio star'.
Suddenly I was exposed to more than just the crap my friends listened to because they had all those hand-me-down 'Kiss' and 'Judas Priest' albums from their older siblings, the ones that almost made my ears bleed.
Finally I had music I could like as I got explosed to anyone and everyone who put out a video.
Over the years I come back to this one again and again not only because it's wickedly political (and very funny - I swear - if an arab and jew can unite over this song - then so can the whole world) but because so many people I know think the chorus is 'rock the catbox'.
So here is my favorite song/video - 'The Clash - Rock the Casbah'.
