The 80’s were off to a rockin’ start with the launch of MTV! The 2nd video ever aired was “You Better Run” by Pat Benatar. Pat’s husband, Neil Grenaldo, is seen playing a Fender Stratocaster, making it the first guitar to ever appear on MTV! 🎶 📺
What was the 1st video aired on MTV?
All-synth song: “Video Killed the Radio Star” by the Buggels.
