I thought it was something by Elton John.

I can remember when MTV first went on the air -- we didn't have cable in our neighborhood, but it caused quite a brouhaha in the areas that did.  In those days there were few, if any "cable" channels.  My grandparents had cable and all that was really offered were the local channels and broadcast channels from another viewing area (Baltimore, MD in our case).  And there might have been a couple of New York stations thrown in.  So you had your choice of at least two and in some cases three of each network affiliate to choose from -- which meant that during prime time hours, the same program was available on two or three different channels (big freaking deal).  When the cable company dropped the ABC affiliate from Baltimore to make room for MTV, there was a huge outcry from the older people who just didn't "get" the whole concept of music videos.

People are not limited by the circumstance that they are born in. They are limited by the size of their dreams. Show them that their dreams can have no limits and in turn their accomplishments can be limitless.
