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.”
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.

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!
I await your post, Hrrundi!
