“John’s impression of Joe Cocker singing “With a little help from my friends” making fun of a disability.”

That bit by Belushi actually ended up helping Cocker.
When he saw a tape of it he realised how low he was.
It convinced him to get sober and get serious about life.
He went on to have at least one or two songs that sold pretty well and put him back on the map.

Dear Reed College,
Prepare to downsize. You will be having some surplus dorm rooms next fall.
Yours truly,

Let them see the opening scence of “The Jerk”
“I was born a poor black child.....”

I grew up during the time Steve Martin was at his best, damn funny stuff.

In JoeBidenWorld, that would be seven words.

I bought the complete second season of SNL at a college book sale a couple of months ago.

I’ve been watching some of it most nights since and no way - NO FREAKING WAY — would many of those skits be allowed to air today.

You see, speech was much freer in 1976 - 1977 than it is now.

“That’s like somebody … making a song just littered with the n-word everywhere,”

You mean like every rap song ever made?

I saw Steve Martin’s “King Tut” tour at the Universal Amphitheater in the late ‘70s

I went to his show at the Kansas Coliseum in Wichita. Had front row seats because I spent a November night waiting in line to get the first tickets. I can't remember who the opening act was, but after the show I took one of the oranges Martin used for juggling.
