For this week’s “120 Minutes” Rewind, we bring in someone not normally associated with “120 Minutes”: Original MTV VJ Martha Quinn, who is seen in this clip interviewing Michael Aston of Gene Loves Jezebel for the alt-music program during its very early incarnation in 1986. The best part, however, might be the fact that the segment ends with Quinn introducing the next video: Dolby’s Cube, aka Thomas Dolby, performing the theme song to “Howard the Duck.”
