What we didn’t learn from Senate confirmation hearings, from today’s MTV feature on NRO:

William H. Pryor Jr.
One of my fondest memories of college life was watching MTV. Our college installed cable in the dorms my sophomore year (1981-82). Many of my friends back then were musicians, but not rockers. Most of us played in the university band and orchestra. I still remember one friend, a chemistry major, who regularly watched MTV with the television sound off (no mute button then) while he listened to orchestral music. You have not experienced MTV like he did until you watch it while listening to the music of Arnold Schoenberg. A conservative favorite of College Republicans back then was “Rock the Casbah” by The Clash, but that was long before 9/11. The guys wanted to invite our favorite VJ, Martha Quinn, on a date, and the gals all liked Alan Hunter from Birmingham, Alabama.
