"You're still following me? Stop! Leave me alone! I'm just teasing. Come here. Come.. closer. You know I love you, my little monkeys. But leave me my dreams. Dreams are like paper, they tear so easily. I love to play. Every time I play.. you win. Ciao."
"La Dolce Gilda", SNL
This weekend we watched a great special on the first five years of Saturday Night Live. It was far more than just a clip show, there were many interviews with cast and writers, woven in with a judicious selection of clips and some of the great musical acts from the show during that time.
Now I have an addition to where I would like to go if I could go back in time. I'd love to go work with those gifted, wacky, funny geniuses that started SNL in the mid 70s. I can only imagine what amazing, frenetic energy went into making those early episodes. At least now after having watched that special, I have a vague idea.
