Back when SNL was funny. And the original Not Ready For Primetime Players, were every bit as Left, as they are now, but they were actually funny.

I watched them all first run, and I was just a little elementary school kid.

SNL ceased to exist in my mind after Belushi and Ackroyd left.

If you want to hear some pretty vicious satire from the 70s, try to find the song ‘Pull The Triggers’ from the National Lampoon show ‘Lemmings’. White liberals, and Joan Baez in particular, are savaged with no mercy (and the very un-PC language would literally cause a riot today).

I wonder if P.J. wrote that?
