When I was little, before we had MTV, I looked forward to the weekends and staying up late to watch Night Tracks on TBS. For me, Night Tracks became the looking glass to a totally different world.
Being from deep south Texas, a Catholic conservative and predominantly Mexican-American area, watching Boy George (Culture Club) was something very new, but my parents never censored my viewing habits--although, my mom still changes the channel when there is a sex scene on TV.
I was seven years old when I was exposed to the amazing world of music videos. Videos gave life to the music on the radio. And as a very imaginative kid, it allowed me to mimic performances and dances, especially Michael Jackson's Billie Jean and Jennifer Beals' Flashdance dance moves.
