"Entertaining proof that good sense means good theory. This book is the first to treat music TV as vision and sound. Academically, I had most fun applauding Andrew Goodwin's elegant skewering of postmodernists; as a rock fan I was constantly startled by Goodwin's experts of my most deeply held prejudices. I'm now convinced; there's much more to MTV than meets the eye"
