But then with MTV going all the time and not very many people made videos.
But see, I was making videos because I had a hit in Australia.
And like I said, Australia was way ahead of us.
So it was the video that I just made in a club in London.
that was shown that made that record number one in Australia.
And so when MTV started, there weren't that many people making videos, but I was.
So they had to make content.
So they played me all the fucking time.
Just because nobody else had videos yet.
And I remember sitting with, I can't remember the guy, some English guy.
And I said, what is this MTV thing?
He goes, I don't know.
The record company told me.
I can't remember the guy's name.
He was really a good songwriter.
But you don't hear of him much anymore.
Anyway, I had a conversation.
Neither one of us knew what was going on.
