I did.

• She's had a little work since then, but she can afford it.
• SCTV was simply the best.

Yes, loved SCTV. Great cast & guests. Surprised Southside didn't have an acting career after that performance!

Reminded me of this. It's pretty well known that The Beach Boys (Brian Wilson) were greatly influenced by these guys.

No doubt. They even covered that song early on.

As an a cappella nerd, I always loved singing The Beach Boys songs.

This one is speculated to be about Chris Cornell. Or Eddie’s bro Chris, or potentially both. Either way, I like it.

This is fascinating. Not a lot of time for her to catch her breath during this song.

Another Springsteen song made more popular by someone else, along the lines of Blinded By The Light and Pink Cadillac.

Bruce didn't have a fully-formed song and gave it to Patti Smith, who then completed the lyrics and recorded her iconic version. So this was really a team effort, even if they didn't sit down together to create it.

Yup. When you hear Bruce perform it, he uses his lyrics which are slightly different than Patti's.

Honestly, hers are better.

Awesome, that must have been something to see!

And you can't derail a thread that has no point.

It was. FYI - The Bacon Brothers (yes, with Kevin) were really, really good.
