RIP, rock 'n' roll pioneer

Last week, God, who as we all know is one sick, sick bastard, saw fit to take J. J. Jackson from us. As one of the original MTV DJs, er, I mean, VJs, Jackson led a small cadre of personalities that were at the forefront of popular culture, experimenting with a new genre that would lead to the phenomenon that is music television. Thanks to Mr. Jackson, the work of Flock of Seagulls, Nik Kershaw, and Howard Jones resonates today. You will be missed.

So who was YOUR favorite original MTV VJ?
