There have been few times in modern music history that an instant shift in how we listen to — and view — music has occurred. However, the launch of MTV on August 1, 1981, was certainly... More > one such occurrence. Instantly, music fans were now “listening with their eyes” rather than relying solely on their ears. 'MTV Ruled the World: The Early Years of Music Video' is the first book to focus solely on the channel’s important building-block years, specifically from the channel’s launch to when MTV’s original group of VJs left the channel. Comprised of over 70 all-new interviews ("Weird Al" Yankovic, Daryl Hall, John Oates, Joe Elliott, Phil Collen, Rob Halford, Stewart Copeland, Rick Springfield, Jerry Casale, Geddy Lee, Ann Wilson, Chuck D, Alan Hunter, Nina Blackwood, etc.), the book is not only an eye-opening account of the early years of MTV, but also of the music industry, important music developments/events, and the “Big ‘80s” in general.< Less

The MTV Generation (Generation X's protégé) is stereotyped as apathetic, ineffectual, entitled and lazy. David Schuster is here to show you that things are not always what they seem. ... More > In a world dominated by the opinions of Baby Boomer pundits, Schuster adds a youthful voice to the cacophony. Politically incorrect, incisive and funny, Schuster waxes philosophical on the most important sociological quandaries of the Western world. He tackles everything from sex to metaphysics with optimism and authenticity uncharacteristic of his generation. Always careful not to take himself too seriously, he offers a refreshing viewpoint badly needed in a cynical world constantly bombarded by doomsday warnings. Philosophy Junk Food is an entertaining peek into what the younger crowd has been up to while you weren't looking, with just enough profound messages to change the way you look at the world.< Less
