Oh come now, he recorded a perfectly lovely album just 40 years ago. Be nice.

Fuck off. He has more talent in whatever metastasized tissue was removed than you have in your entire worthless carcass. Speedy recovery Mr. MacManus - we'll keep the shine on the late night dial tuned into your frequency.

@3, You are correct, sir.

Fuck this. If Elvis goes, we're all going with him.

Allison is all about having fucked. The genitals are a thing. Long may he wave.

@7:

He was banned only because Lorne Michaels went ballistic when he pulled a last-second switch and played Radio Radio instead of Less Than Zero.

@9:

Yeah, swapping out a song berating a little-known (to U.S. audiences) British fascist for one lampooning the rampant commercialization of the media - of course Michaels would have been offended; his corporate masters would have expected no less of him.

Or, I don't know, maybe fucking with the timing of a live broadcast is a really shitty thing to do to the entire production crew, not just the producer? It's not like nobody had ever pilloried the media on SNL, after all.

Don't get me wrong, it's a favorite bit of television... but maybe it can be that and still also be kind of a dick move, you know?
