These 5 VJ's were thrown into a completely new format and made it work beyond anyone’s wildest dreams. Mine included.” -- Rick Springfield“At last--the real inside story of the MTV explosion that rocked the world, in all its giddy excess, from the video pioneers who saw all the hair, drugs and guitars up close. VJ is the wild, hilarious, addictive tale of how one crazy moment changed pop culture forever.” -- Rob Sheffield ― New York Times bestselling author of Talking to Girls About Duran Duran“Dishy, hilarious, wild, and poignant.” ― CBS News“In this wry, engaging oral history, the original veejays recount with bemusement—and occasional horror—their meteoric rise during MTV's heady first years. The first chapter commences with a big-haired, big-mouthed David Lee Roth— and from there the rollicking pace never lets up.” -- Jancee Dunn ― co-author of New York Times bestseller Cyndi Lauper: A Memoir“There was no such job as a 'VJ' when this unlikely crew was chosen to serve as our hosts at a revolution. Their story is a revealing inside look at the highs, lows, and hairstyles that defined a generation.” -- Alan Light ― author of The Holy or the Broken“VJ is a near textbook on ingenuity, luck, perseverance, fame, and the adjustment to life post-fame. There are also at least fifteen paragraphs that made me think, "I can't believe they're actually revealing this!" -- Richard Marx“For latchkey kids of my generation, the original MTV VJs were the best babysitters we ever had. When our parents weren't looking, they gave us secret glimpses into a better, sexier world. They were the coolest people, on the coolest TV station, with the coolest jobs on the planet. This is their story.” -- Michael Ian Black ― New York Times bestselling author of You’re Not Doing it Right“MTV hit the airwaves during the golden age of album rock radio and massive rock touring, and took it all to another level. VJ is a fun and informative ride, told through the eyes of the five people who experienced the MTV phenomenon from the most intimate perspective possible.” -- Kevin Cronin ― REO Speedwagon“Crazy days and nights in a different time--Nina, Mark, Alan and Martha will bring it all to life for you. This book is a joyride!” -- Jane Wiedlen ― The Go-Go's
