On August 1st, 1981 MTV debuted and declared “video killed the radio star,” but in the end, it was MTV that killed off the music from music television. Over the years behind the scenes stories are in abundance. From backstage shenanigans at the Video Music Awards to on-air mishaps. There’s that time Anthony Kedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers licked Cindy Crawford’s armpit, or the time a fan drank Bam Margera’s throw up. There are a lot of things you may want to know, but then when you get another detail it becomes “More Than You Really Wanted to Know.”
