We said goodbye to a true staple in pop music and pop culture last night. “TRL” aired their last show in Times Square in front of thousands outside — and inside, a packed studio audience.  For someone who watched TRL religiously when I’d come home from school, I was hungry to know what was happening with our favorite songs and artists and how they were doing on the charts. It was so much a launching platform for artists like Eminem, 50 cent, Fall Out Boy, Nysnc, Britney, Backstreet Boys and many more. One of the reasons I got into radio, was to one day be a VJ for TRL. I even sent in an audition tape in 2002 when they were looking for new hosts. I was hoping to catch a break someday and get a call from MTV and they would say…”Hey Joe, want to count from 10-1”?  Looks like I might be delayed for a little bit now.

Here’s to you TRL! A show that was all about the music, no matter what genre you were into.
