Runnin' Down A Dream - Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers

Actually, in the 1960s the short "music video" (as we know it) was quite popular in Europe, thanks to the Scopitone company that manufactured and distributed movie "jukeboxes".

The "Love For Sale" video by Frank Sinatra Jr. was a Scopitone production.

Other famous ones include These Boots Are Made For Walking by Nancy Sinatra and Wonder Boy by Lesley Gore.

I love good music videos, in case you couldn't tell.

I wanted to become a music video director when I was at school.

The Newsroom

That's the hilarious Canadian series about local news, NOT the dreadful Aaron Sorkin show.

Episode 2 is even funnier...

This is madness!
