I had forgotten about Elvis switching to Radio Radio on SNL. Wikipedia has the extra bit that I didn't know but seems like a gag that only RTH-types would have gotten. Anyone see it?

"In a bizarre and comic twist, on SNL's 25th anniversary show in 2000, Costello burst in on Beastie Boys—sabotaging their performance of "Sabotage"— and they performed Radio Radio together."

I do remember seeing that. The Beastie Boys made a very fine backing band for EC, too, if I recall.

I'm definitely not the man. ;)

I didn't see that Beastie Boys bit, but it sounds like a riot!

Hey, SallyC --

It's not at all a riot, and I have a post coming up that proves my point. Hold on tight!

There are certain people here who will be both thrilled and jealous to know that tonight I saw Peter Wolf do an impromptu lead vocal on "I Do" with the doo-wop group that was playing one stage of the Feast of St. Anthony.

FIRST TIME HERE? Rock Town Hall is a place to discuss - and debate - self-important topics in the world of rock 'n roll as we know it, love it, and hate it. Overlooked gems, overrated albums, and sideburns are always open for discussion. Lurk and enjoy the show, or better yet REGISTER and play along. The only requirement is that you love the Rock. The USER'S GUIDE, has the low down on how to jump in. Your knowledge level is unimportant. In the mix of truth tellers, true believers, wiseacres, blowhards, and plainspoken rock fans, whatever nerdiness, earnestness, silliness, and passion you bring to the table will find a place.
