“I was working as a staff writer at Rolling Stone. I had a friend who worked at MTV, and she called me and said, "They're looking for VJs for this new channel. Do you want to try out?" I had zero TV experience, but I thought, "Well, what the hay."” WantTryingWellsSaidTvsStonesZeroStaffRollingRolling StonesMtvHay Author:Jancee Dunn
“I wondered how I was going to do it and keep my job at Rolling Stone at the same time. They were very nice, and they let me disappear for two days a week for a couple of hours. That's how long shooting was.” LongTwoJobsHoursNiceWeekCoupleStonesLet MeDisappearShootingRollingVery NiceTwo DaysRolling Stones Author:Jancee Dunn
“We had a wonderful department that scouted out new music. It was beneficial to Rolling Stone, because I would come back and say, "You have to hear this, you have to hear that," and I found a lot of bands to feature, emerging bands. It [ended up being] symbiotic.” FoundWonderfulBandStonesFeaturesDepartmentRollingBeneficialEmergingRolling StonesNew Music Author:Jancee Dunn

“Also because few people were watching - aside from a healthy amount of incarcerated people, because M2 was offered in a lot of prisons - I was able to ask really long, kind of muso questions, that they loved. We could really geek out and talk about music for long periods of time, and that tape would just keep rolling and rolling.” PeopleKindLongAbleAsksAmountPeriodsHealthyPrisonTapeRollingGeekLong Periods Of TimeReally Long Author:Jancee Dunn
“Before M2, I really felt self-conscious about some of my choices, and I was slotted into a category. At Rolling Stone, I was the alternative chick, and that was just the way it was. That did break me open a little bit, and that was maybe its legacy. And it's a nice one.” WayLittlesSelfChoicesFeltBitsBreakNiceLittle BitConsciousStonesAlternativesLegacyCategoriesRollingSelf ConsciousChicksRolling Stones Author:Jancee Dunn
