Showing my age here...but does anybody remember what video/artist it was that featured Hulk Hogan walking down the Hollywood stip or Venice Beach area with a boom box??... some friends and I were having a discussion on none of us can remember....going crazy trying to figure it out.

I believe that was Steve Strong. He was in a Mike Nesmith/Pacific Arts presentation called "Elephant Parts" It was a comedy sketch with music video from 1981,won the first music video Grammy it did! If I recall the bit was called "Lucy and Ramona with their friend Sunset Sam" Where do I keep all this priceless info?.....

So who was the artist Mike Nesmith??..and what was the name of the actual video on MTV? Good info though so far.

actually you gave good info....the artist is Michael Nesmith and the video was "Cruisin" but it's not HULK HOGAN...it was a guy that looked like him.....dang I was wrong!

Thanks for the help though.

Mike Nesmith? He was The Angry Monkee! He did a vhs tape called Elepahnt Parts. Idon't think it really was intended to be for MTV, (maybe it was) But he did like 5 sketches based on music, I really dug the Mariachi Band one, they did "Guantanamera" badly, in full costume. I saw it first on "Nite Flight" USA network's late night music and art program. Way better than MTV.Man it's been a long time....
