On This Day In History: August 1st, 1981, MTV launches

MTV was launched on August 1st, 1981. The first video that was played was Video Killed The Radio Star, by The Buggles. Remember when they used to actually play music videos. ?

Deep Purple – Highway Star (1972)

This song, Highway Star, is from the 1972 album, Machine Head, by Deep Purple. I remember buying a used copy of that great album, on vinyl, in 1972, or 1973.
