Dan Patrick

Well, he didn't make the billion by doing nothing.

Made great music.

we talked about uh... the grateful dead dylan who's age thirty and he's a uh... deadhead and then i started thinking about uh... the mtv you were playing grateful dead videos i don't think when you guys first started their r e m got a lot of play uh... errol smith got play uh... interestingly r e m did not get a whole lot of play i mean they came on you know early eighties nineteen eighty one with radio free europe which i saw on the david lederman show and they played live

And we were all like, wow, who is this band?

But their first... I started playing them on an alternative show on MTV called 120 Minutes.

It was around 86, 87.

And we played Losing My Religion.

I think that was the first... No, no, we played The One I Love.

That would have been the first one that we played from them.

But they had a number of years before they were...

commercially successful, and then it was into the 90s before they were internationally a huge alt-fan.

Duran Duran got a lot of play.

Well, Duran Duran is the poster boy band for the group.

I mean, their first videos for Girls on Film were, to this day, some of the most salacious videos around.

That was a video, Girls on Film, that caught parents' hair on fire who thought MTV was truly the devil's playground.

They saw the images on that first video.

But, yeah, Duran Duran, U2, the Pretty Boys, the second wave, if you will, after the Beatles, after the Rolling Stones, the first wave from across the pond, came the new wavers.

And that was the predominant focus on MTV because they were the only ones, by the way, that were making videos.

The greatest American band is who?

Greatest American band.
