He had a ton of cool bands on when hardly anyone else would. And MAN I wish I had seen this Clash tour.

Also: Who could forget…

    Ingmar Bergman also died. I thought both Bergman and Snyder had been dead for years.

    oh! woops. did you JUST put the interview up?

    i SWEAR it wasn’t on the page when i posted the link!

    “…this is WHY we are here…”

    I added the PiL clip this morning, after Gerry posted the initial Clash clip. Good Townspeople, ALWAYS click that “More” link when you see it. For instance, in today’s Thrifty Music piece you’ll find 3 more groovy 25-cent songs and commentary.

    i clicked “read more”! whatev. i just didn’t see it.

    well, they say these deaths always happen in threes, and here’s your third:

    Tom Snyder, Ingmar Bergman and Bill Walsh… eternally bonded in death as they were in life…

  7. saturnismine

    indeed, sammy.

  8. Lydon’s smile at the end of that clip is hilarious. Snyder obviously had no idea what to do with him (does anyone really?).

    The Clash clip sent a jolt through me that no amount of Red Bull could ever hope to. Love seeing Topper on drums – great!

    There’s also a good clip from when Snyder had KISS on – Ace is obviously sh*tfaced and it’s fun watching Gene squirm as Ace takes over the interview – and Snyder appears to be having a ball.

    Good times.
