An irreverent pictorial history of MTV, full of anecdotes and behind-the-scenes revelations, as told by the people who saw it all happen - including Madonna, Cindy Crawford, Ben Stiller, Eminem, Kurt Loder and Jennifer Lopez. This is a homage to the iconic TV channel that has shaped the lives and attitudes of millions for over 15 years. It raids the vaults of MTV's thousands of hours of exclusive interviews and performances for the shocking truth behind the success of the world's most unmistakable pop culture machine. Discover the sordid details of the breakdowns and near catastrophes at MTV award shows that have nearly knocked some of these broadcasts off the air; read shocking stories of the after-parties; and get the lowdown on the top 100 videos - and why so many were originally banned by the channel's censors.
Editorial : Remember when Diana Ross felt up Lil' Kim on live television? When Chuck D interviewed Strom Thurmond? When Madonna's breasts exploded from her bustier on the first MTV Music Awards? When Nirvana trashed Kurt Loder's hotel room? When Radiohead's Thom Yorke almost drowned on MTV Beach House by diving into a pool with combat boots? When Tabitha Soren appeared in the Beastie Boys' "Fight for Your Right" video. Or when she swatted Bill Clinton's hand away when he patted her head? When Downtown Julie Brown carried on like the lost Gabor sister? When Florence Henderson flashed her fuzz-enhanced armpits in a parody of Basic Instinct? You'll remember it all in living color if you read the sassy, flashy MTV Uncensored, the network's 20th-birthday present to its fans (and itself). More stars than there are beds in rehab offer their irreverent reminiscences, and sumptuous images by the greats of pop-culture photography jostle with spontaneous onscreen and backstage shots grab

Worst $45 I ever spent.. The essays are interesting, but my favorite is one I almost missed after the technical photographs of xrays in the back: an essay which describes how the Venetian painters were at a remarkable crossroads of shared experimentation in color including glassmakers, creators of fabric dyes, and other tradesmen that contributed to a new world of color effects in paint. Just try got haven't stared to read yet just got out of hospital. In fact I do not think that there are many other publications on software pricing since I know that the major software companies consider pricing as highly confidential, and do not allow their pricing managers to publish. I like the compact form factor (200+ pages), easy writing style and good command of English (you won't f
