No, I get it... Carl, being that guy, would have totally been there (albiet with an illegal hookup, no doubt) to see the premeir of the music changing phenomena that was supposed to be MTV... However, thirty years down the road, Carl, like so many others, have found that promise unfulfilled, and it is because of such unfulfilled dreams that Carl turned to excessive indulgence of pornagraphic mediums. Had MTV truly rocked like they were supposed to, Carl might still have beautiful flowing locks and a wife with some kids, but thanks to the Real World and Madonna, Carl is the downtrodden husk of a man you see every week night at 12:30/1:15 EST and Sundays at 11:45 EST.
So thanks MTV, we couldn't have had such great laughs if you hadn't **beast** so hard.
History is a nightmare from which I am trying awake.
