uncreative explains Saturday Night Live
For some reason, between their (sometimes - well okay rarely) humorous bits, they have some group play music. Why? It's a bloody comedy show, it's not an "introduce new band" or "trott out an old band" show. I thought SNL was supposed to be about comedy (well, they haven't been for most of the past twenty years but that's beside the point.)
Who knows how empty the sky is
In the place of a fallen tower.
Who knows how quiet it is in the home
Where a son has not returned.
-- Anna Akhmatova (1889-1966)
