MTV was launched 28 years ago today. The first song broadcast was the Buggles' "Video Killed the Radio Star." In July, we saw ex-Buggle Geoff Downes (above) playing the keyboards - lots of keyboards - for Asia when they opened for Yes (a group in which he had also once played).
Downes displays the first hands seen in a video shown on MTV. Although I liked the Buggles, I much preferred The Midnight Special or Night Flight to MTV.
Ace caught up to Downes before the show; he's quite a likable guy.
(Update - summer, 2010: Asia is on tour now, by the way.)
"yes", please, as many "asia" are willing to post.... :)________
