Funny Read On The Early MTV Days And Contests
Sex, cocaine and Van Halen — inside MTV’s wild ‘80s contests

In 1984, MTV gave contest winner Kurt Jefferis a chance to party all weekend with his heroes: the notoriously depraved band Van Halen.

The then-fledgling music-video channel flew Jefferis and a pal from Phoenixville, Pa., to Detroit, where they met up with the band at Cobo Hall. First things first, Jefferis told The Post, “a guy handed me a bottle of Jack Daniels.

I took a sip and asked for more.” After being passed a joint, “I took a couple hits and a couple more swigs of Jack Daniels.”

During the show, Jefferis got smashed in the face with cake and showered in champagne by the band members, then he went backstage where there was a feast of lobster, filet mignon and cocaine.

“I did a couple lines. Then David [Lee Roth, the singer] said, ‘I think Kurt needs Tammy,’ ” Jefferis recalled.

The groupie “took off her clothes and started dancing naked. The two of us wound up together in the shower.”

After that, things got fuzzy. Unbeknownst to MTV, Jefferis had suffered brain trauma a couple of years earlier, as a result of falling 13 feet over a stairwell, and was not equipped to handle Van Halen-level partying.

“I blacked out, and the next thing I remember is waking up in a hotel room bed,” said Jefferis, now 54. Tammy was long gone and “my head was killing me.”

But he still had another day of partying with the band. So Alex Van Halen told him to shotgun a 16-ounce beer. A hungover Jefferis declined, but the drummer wasn’t taking no for an answer: “Alex said, ‘Kurt you are not leaving this spot until you drink it.’ ”

By the time Jefferis got home, he was sleep-deprived, in pain and happy to be back at his job as a stock boy at Gimbels.

His wild time is captured in a new documentary short, “Lost Weekend,” premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival Saturday. (The movie “I Want My MTV,” about the channel’s early days, is also part of the fest.) It’s a look at a time you can never imagine happening now, when the break-the-rules channel let viewers in on the fun by gifting them cars, VIP treatment at concerts and even their idols’ homes. The contests sometimes ended up in sex, chaos or with winners owing thousands of dollars.

Cool story.

I do remember some those crazy giveaways. I’m sure most who won were young and dumb and never stopped to realize the taxes and other implications.

I remember when MTV ran the contest promos, the advisory wording would always scroll by at lightening speed. LOL

I bet Nina Blackwood threw it around to all of those 80s rock bands. She was pretty hot back then, as was Martha Quinn. Martha is still pretty attractive these days, too.

I was about 12 when MTV debuted. We were all glued to the TV watching MTV after school until my dad got stationed in Panama. They didn't have MTV in panama at the time. We used to have to rent betamax tapes of MTV. Good times.

I read an article once about a contest titled, "What would you do to party with Motley Crue"? I don't know if it was MTV or not. It was an essay contest, and the article discussed in broad terms how severely messed up some of the entries were. I vaguely remember references to placing one's own mother in bondage for Motley Crue to use how they saw fit, and then some vague references to doing things with razor blades and ice cubes that the article wouldn't even specify.

Ironically Van Halen probably changed that.

True, the early days of MTV would make a helluva movie

Reading that piece makes me miss the old days, all they do now is make shitty reality shows
