Max Headroom - 1980's electronic media mogul :)

Max Headroom was a pisstake at the new Reagan era of corporatisation and capitalist confusion. Well something like that. A very early incarnation of computer generated graphics (BTW he was a real actor not an avatar) he came onto the screens and, well, watch for yourselves.... This is a best of video. Later on he also played a part in the U2 ZOOTV tours, coming onto the screens at times in the show I guess to express the confusion/WTF? at this new electronic world that we were all entering; one that involved money and buying things, marketing strategies and the like. If only Max could have envisioned where we are now :)

Vale Max Headroom, icon of the '80's. Before the internet, before mobile phones were around much at all, before the bulk of electronica we have today, before social media and virtual consciousness.
