ETM and SNL

[pab@gauss.rutgers.edu (Paul Badalamenti)]

Gotta love those acronyms.  Hi, I am a `gaffa' virgin.  Or, was, at
this point.  I have to things I would like to share with y`all. (don't
take that the wrong way . . .)

First, I recently rented the Saturday Night Live episode hosted by
Eric Idle in `79, the one that is SUPPOSED to have two performances
from Her Majesty.  They were deleted.  Has anyone else had this
problem?

Second, I have been reading the speculations in this group about `Eat
the Music,' and I have my own thoughts on the matter.  It reminds me
of the book (now a film),  `Like Water For Chocolate'  In that work
the author explores (among other things) the sensual aspecs of food.
I seemed to me that Kate was extending the metaphor to music.  The
photos on the EP as well as TRS definately remind me of the film
version of LWFC (God, I love these acronyms)

Actually, I do have a third item I would like to mention (sue me)
I rectly picked up a bootleg of a 1979 Kate show in Manchester.  It is
VERY cool, with about 20 song, many of which are arranged differently
from the studio versions (extended intros, jams, different
instrumentation, etc.)  Highly recommended.
