I heard you on my wireless back in 52...

Lying awake intent at tuning in on you.
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through.


They took the credit for your second symphony.
Rewritten by machine and new technology,
and now I understand the problems you can see.


I met your children
What did you tell them?

Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.
Pictures came and broke your heart.


And now we meet in an abandoned studio.
We hear the playback and it seems so long ago.
And you remember the jingles used to go.

You were the first one.
You were the last one.

Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.
In my mind and in my car, we can't rewind we've gone to far

Pictures came and broke your heart, put the blame on VTR

Sure this is an 80's gem, and trivia note it was the first song played on MTV EVER. Remember when MTV played music? Fuck man, I do...Anyways, I feel it's message applies as much today as it did then. Obviously you replace video with the internet and radio with well, everything?

Now I am not complaining that much, but just 3 years ago when i was in highschool, no one had cellphones, we didn't Facebook so much, I dunno...we were just so different. We would just call people. I compare that with today, and wow I just don't know. I am not opposed so much as I am just able to relate with this song.

I have long had this discussion with my friends. Why is it that the youth today look so much older than us that is to say, take a group of similar sized/class/dressed/etc males and compare them with me and my friends and they will often look older than us. What is it...

Why is this? What causes this? I don't know, no one has an explanation. I'm not a Doctor. Anyways I digress, my point was that much like the 80's, much like anytime I suppose one could say, we live in an age of constant change...where the fuck am I going with this...I'll be honest, I began writing this at like 8 pm, its not 2 am...this is pointless, and off topic. Oh well, I guess I can

put all the blame on VCR
