3:45 so this was the end of The Cars!

24:12--The credits list Tabitha Soren as editorial assistant. Who knew that within a couple of years, she would move up the MTV News food chain and become an anchor and regular on-screen fixture?
For that matter, who also knew that a week or two after, Kurt Loder would take over and give the MTV News team even more credibility?

Adam Curry's sarcastic comment after Rick Astley. Lol. 😂 And yes, Bon Jovi was always douchey.
