Money for Nothing: A History of the Music Video from the Beatles to the White Stripes"Money for Nothing begins with the earliest days of the music video, when Hollywood musicals, experimental animated films, Soundies, and Scopitones fused music and image in ways that would presage the eventual form of the MTV clip. As MTV and VH1 have morphed into lifestyle channels, the video no longer has the cultural impact it once had, but our era of YouTube and bloggers has revitalized the form, sparking a video resurgence among bands, directors, and fans. Money for Nothing is a history that shows artistry and commercialism clashing, fusing, and occasionally creating works of real beauty."--Jacket. |
