    Note that Ed wore his tux with his concert boots. >Classic<  🤘
    I still want to know what those are. I'm looking for ultra comfy concert shoes.

    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.

    Omg. These two white dudes rapping is uber cringe. Who thought it would be a good idea?
    you mean the iconic SNL bit from the 2000s?

    Some comments make me think people are not familiar with SNL.

    Overall, a good show fitting of SNL’s music legacy. Only low points for me were some of the current pop stars who can’t really sing, especially songs that aren’t their own. Miley sounded rough compared to Britney Howard (most would). She was better on her own song. Bad Bunny, Jelly Roll, and Post just really aren’t good vocalists, but again, they suffer by comparison.

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

    I'm 12.

    Sounds absolutely cringe today.

    Their sizing is based on Australian sizing. Their fit can be all over the place because of this. Try them in person  if you can.

    It was a longer pre-recorded bit back in the day. That was only meant to be a quick hit of nostalgia hence the medley. If that was your only exposure I'd just chalk it up to "you had to be there."

    If people haven’t watched the SNL music documentary that quest made, it’s really great too. 
    A heads-up for those who haven't seen it yet (and don't have Peacock): it reairs on NBC tonight at 8 p.m.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    I can’t be the only one feeling this was a lmissed 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? 
    Yeah Eddie changes the world. Like he did in 2004 with VOC (great for us) and 2016 and 2024. Ed doesn’t change anything. It’s sad to think people think a musician can change someone’s mind….
    It's sad to think this? Why is it sad?

    There are countless examples through history of art in various forms changing hearts and minds. Are you familiar with "Uncle Tom's Cabin"?  More specifically to your point, do you really believe that Bob Dylan or the Beatles did not have some impact on an entire generation's outlook on the world?

    It's strange how you cherry-pick. Could Eddie Vedder's vocal support for Ralph Nader have contributed to the slim margin that enabled George W. Bush to win Florida over Al Gore, and thus the presidency, in 2000? (Or in other states that went to Bush in 2000 that would have also been tipping points?) Could artists' like Vedder's vocal support for Democrats have something to do with the fact that Democratic presidential candidates have received more votes than Republican presidential candidates in seven of the nine presidential elections since 1988? Or that Republican presidential candidates have received more than 50 percent of the vote only once since 1988 (in 2004)?
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    I think Eddie was the only performer to do a non single.
    What did he play?

    I think what is on NBC tonight is different from the live show last night. I think it is a retrospective of the show’s 50 years - with clips and interviews. But I could be wrong. I have it set to record anyway.

    To be fair, PJ seemed to be one of the last bands, when radio was still going strong, where their albums were so good, radio stations would put non-singles into heavy rotation.  I'm not sure how unknown the song is to Casual PJ listeners.  I remember Corduroy getting air time.  Maybe not Betterman level of air time, but it did make the airwaves :)

    Yes, that's what I was referring to-- the "SNL music documentary that [Q]uest made" that Tim Simmons had mentioned in the post that I quoted.

    This still happens today. For example, Billie Eilish's "Birds of a Feather" was getting airplay for several weeks before it was officially pushed to radio and a video was released.
