About this listen

On this solo episode, Kelly reflects on recent tragedies and the need for community before celebrating the very first MTV Video Music Awards on September 14, 1984. She shares an emotional vigil she watched online and a plea for compassion across differences.

Then she revisits the unpredictable 1984 VMAs at Radio City Music Hall — Madonna’s iconic cake performance, Tina Turner, David Bowie, Herbie Hancock’s wins, and the messy, bold moments that made the show unforgettable — urging listeners to be authentic and take creative risks.
