I still want my MTV back! Yes, give me back that gold shag carpet rug burn, on my knobby knees! The rug burn from kneeling six inches from the screen of the old, beloved floor model TV. As Michael Jackson beat it, the Eurythmics gave me sweet dreams, Devo whipped it good, and Robert Palmer apologized that he did not mean to turn me on. I spent my teen years bedazzled by them all.
