WOW. Costello and the Beastie Boys, "Radio Radio" on the SNL show last night. Cool. And he had the same guitar as he did the first time. I just saw that occurrence for the first time this weekend. Impressive.

Wow,Sem you remember that!!!He kind of pissed off the SNL people,he wasn,t supposed to sing that song.I still want to shag him.

Well, of course I remember it. I only saw it for the FIRST TIME. On Vh-1's SNL music special. Still impressed the hell out of me. 99% of musicians don't have the sheer talent and songwriting power of Elvis Costello. I don't even listen to him that much but I know genius when I hear it.

Did anyone notice that the general quality of the music deteriorated through the SNL 25 years. Not that I don't like Beck, Garbage, et al - they just don't have the same sense of permanence. May be I'm an old fart. 35 is pretty old - lol Then Elvis gets up there. Radio, Radio! English Rose by The Jam circulates today in my mind and that's just fine with me.
