MTV fulfills one guy’s dreai „
NEWYORK (AP) — He only wanted a brief glimpse
of MTV from the inside — just for fun, to join 4,000
other hopefuls grabbing at the instafame that the ab
surdly popular music television network bestows
upon viewers now and then.
On Monday night, Josiah “Jesse” Camp, all of 19,
found himself sitting in the veejay’s chair in MTV’s
Times Square studios, freestyling his own lyrics, in
terviewing Lenny Kravitz, taking a call from Jakob I )y-
lan and wading into Manhattan’s rush-hour crowds
for a few quick absurdist interviews with fans. Even
veteran news anchor Kurt Loder had this to say: “Jesse,
you ARE rock and roll.”
Thanks to MTV and liis own peculiar brand of
charisma, Jesse Camp had arrived.
“You gotta go nuts. You never know how long this
is gonna last,” he said. “You get in these crazy situa
tions and the only way yon can deal with it is not to
take it seriously.”
Fortunately, this was MTV, where not being seri
ous is serious business, and Jesse, an aspiring drum
mer for an East Village band called Easy Action, fit in
immediately.
He made his live-television debut five months af
ter arriving in Manhattan from suburban Connecti
cut and two days after being selected by producers
and viewers from the would-be talent that showed up
at the network’s door last week for its “become a vee
jay” contest. (For the uninitiated: veejay is to video
jockey as deejay is to — well, you get it.)
Viewer participation has been a staple of MT V
since the very beginning, when the station flew a con
test winner to Hawaii in 1982 to party with die then-
popular Devo.
Much of die network’s programming focuses on
regular viewers: call-ins, contests, street interviews

Linda McCartney
remembered in song
REDDING, Conn. (AP) — Long be
fore Paul McCartney penned one note
for his beloved bride, Linda McCartney
had a song written for her that made
the charts in 1947.
Composer Jack Lawrence wrote
“Linda” for then-Linda Eastman
when she was six at the bequest of
her father, Lee V. Eastman, a Scars-
dale, N.Y., entertainment lawyer.
Three days after Linda McCartney
died of cancer at age 56, Lawrence re
called the little girl that inspired the words:
“When I go to sleep, I never count sheep.
I count all the charms about Linda.”
The song became a hit when it was
recorded by Buddy Clark in 1947. It
also was recorded by Perry Como and
Jan and Dean.
Lawrence, 86, said a re-release of the
song as sheet music has a photo of him
and the young Linda sitting at his piano.
