Nina Blackwood (born September 12, 1955) is an American disc jockey and music journalist, who was the first of the original five MTV VJs. She has also been an actress and model.
I could not do the film Spinal Tap because I was already at MTV and it was occupying all my time.
When I worked for Entertainment Tonight I got to emcee Paul McCartneys press conference.
I grew up in Ohio, and I was a musicologist since I was little; it is all that I would ever read.
A regret I have was never being able to interview George Harrison. I just loved him but I never had a chance to interview him.
The hardest and worst interview that I have ever done was with Frank Zappa.
I worked with three people who were doing video music shows before MTV.
I am a curious person and, believe it or not, I really do like to sit back and listen to people's stories.
My reading is always about musical biographies. I have an innate interest and passion for that.
I was in the pilot for Spinal Tap before it was a movie.
I have two syndicated radio shows though United Stations Radio Network.
Christopher Guest movies are my top of the line favorites.
I am like the little rock n' roll backseat driver.
First of all, you needed a budget to do the video. The record companies would pick and choose who got videos.
