I just can’t help myself

… but I must remind everyone that grey-haired John Roberts of CNN fame used to have a respectable career as a music journalist and video jockey up here in Canada.
I found this choice picture while watching a video compiled of clips from Soundproof, a 1980s cable television show that brought breaking alternative bands into a very rough set.
Note the mullet, faux hawk and parachute silk jacket with far too many tabs and buttons.

Nice. I remember The New Music on CityTV before MuchMusic was launched; the show did continue long after Much began, but it I remember the show and the magazine (free in record stores) were the only access we had to info about what was cutting edge in music (and I was listening to AM radio at the time, so anything was cutting edge).
MM’s “Pepsi Power Hour” with JD Roberts was mandatory viewing at my house.
