Blast from the past – Mick Smiley talks about Ghostbusters track!

Years back, MTV added Mick Smiley’s music video, Magic, to their online archives – exciting, as it was a rarity. Then MTV geo-locked their archives, leaving the rest of the world out in the cold. Then someone added a copy to YouTube (all good things come to YouTube.)

But that’s not all – Marc Tyler Nobleman, author of a number of great books on pop culture history, managed to track down and briefly talk to Mick himself, giving us a small look behind the scenes of the Ghostbusters soundtrack (for example, Mick doesn’t think the video aired on MTV… and yet they seem to think they did!)

Nice work, Marc!

    Uh… whoa. Didn’t expect the … shower scene. Ha. I don’t think I’ll ever look at the song the same way again. ;)

    Unless I’m seeing something different than everyone else, it looks like the interview link is a ghost. Since Marc e-mailed me the link, too, I might as well post it.

    Don’t know about you guys but the weather forecast sure bummed out toward the end.

    I believe that’s tragic?

    Very cool. Thanks for posting this. I don’t recall ever seeing this and I watched a metric assload of MTV back in the day.
