A Month of Milestones

The  Art and Music Guide  is now three years old! This comes a day after  MTV  celebrated: it was on August 1, 1981, that the channel's very first music video was played: the  Buggles '  Video Killed the Radio Star .  Other sorts of programming, including reality shows, came later. But during MTV 's heyday, performers ranging from Cyndi Lauper to Whitesnake were featured.  Incidentally, August is also  American Artist Appreciation Month .  Connecticut's  Hamden Public Library  suggests that people explore all forms of art, from visiting galleries and museums to attending live performances, and reading books by American authors.
