    I can’t be the only one feeling this was a missed opportunity to use one’s platform for protest against the coup/constitutional crisis/whatever you want to call it that is currently going on in this country? Am I in the upside-down?! What did I just watch? When I heard Eddie was scheduled to perform for this, I thought, I hope he does “I am a Patriot” or “Know Your Rights”, but really something off of Riot Act would have worked, or Dark Matter, React, Respond??! To be fair, I missed the beginning, did I just not see where current events were mentioned? 

    I thought the programming was done with current events in mind. There was focus on the show's history, some nods to Valentine's Day and love, and then songs and performers and Cher, for crying out loud, that I thought were pretty clearly showing support for the LGBTQ community and pushing back. I really thought there was a pretty clear message. 
    Ok, fair. I really did miss a chunk of the beginning of the show. I’ll have to see if I can find it on YouTube and give it another chance.
    And now I have learned (relearned) a valuable lesson on why I make every effort to not go posting things online while drinking at 1 or 2am, whatever it was. I went back and watched the beginning and then Eddie again, and I had totally missed the part with him starting Less Than Zero! I stand corrected, even if he didn’t do that whole song, he started it and made the point. I recognize we are not all experiencing this timeline in the same manner, and I’m not trying to convince anyone of my reality. I was just looking for reassurance/inspiration/hope from a source I’ve always been able to find it, thought it was gone too like so many things lately, but now I’m good. Staying organized, focused, responding constantly for the past few weeks caught up to me and I will remember to take breaks. Glad I just talk-therapized myself through that.

    1) Woot!
    2) I was watching on my iPad while making dinner, key point was it was not his usual outfit.
    3) I'm female, but a) I own an sizable collection of formal gowns, and b) husband and younger son have both standard black tie and white summer tux jackets. :)

    4) (Ed looked good!)

    If people haven’t watched the SNL music documentary that quest made, it’s really great too. 
    I watched this the other day and really enjoyed it. (No, there isn't more than a few seconds PJ, but it's a fun trip through the show's music history, and the interview with Tom Morello is great.)

    I'm shocked their women's shoes don't go beyond 11.

    I'm 12. 
    Women’s size 12 is Men’s 9.5 at Blundstone. Same boot 😉

    Yeah, it was really well made, the first 6 or so minutes when all the music is overlapping and changing between artists is great.

    I hate to sound like Men's Journal or GQ, but.................get a proper formal jacket gents! I think the last time he dressed up was for the U2 Kennedy awards? And I could never pull off a white jacket.

    I will give props to Cher for making me feel empowered to wear whatever I please without worrying that I'm "too old" for the outfit in question.
    Most wouldn't dress like that at any age since they have some dignity 

    I think you missed my point. I wouldn't wear a sheer body stocking in public at any age. But it's exhausting to worry all the time about whether or not I'm too old to do X or wear Y, and I take inspiration from older women who really DGAF about what other people think.

    On here it won't be the case but Post Nirvana performance will be talked about more than Ed's. Can't lie, it shouldn't but that annoys me 
    They had the whole band (+ replacement singer), played Teen Spirit, and leaned into the nostalgia of their debut SNL performance (they even had the spinning fan graphic in the background that was a part of the set at the time).

    Ed was doing more of a “tribute to others”, then pulled out Corduroy with not his band. 
    Yes, I know, I watched it 😉

    I think I could play that role better than a 007.

    Roughly how far along in the 3 hour special does Ed play? I have stuff to do this evening and can't watch the whole thing when it replays but I want to catch that. First, middle or last third?
