Candy Slice Group, “Gimme Mick” (Saturday Night Live, Feb 17 1979)

Patti Smith’s music and words are about the closest thing to religion in my life, so it’s with mixed feelings that I give you this excerpt from SNL’s “Rock Against Yeast” skit in which Gilda Radner reprises her Candy Slice character who had appeared first earlier that season, when Patti was at her commercial peak.

The skit takes aim at rock benefit concerts, punk rock culture, rock stardom in general, and here, Patti Smith in particular (with a side of Mick Jagger).

(Video cued to begin at Gilda's segment at 5:32 but it doesn't seem to be behaving when run within Mastodon.)

VARIOUS ARTISTS
Phantom Of The Paradise - Original Soundtrack Recording
1974 Canada pressing

Last spin of the night.

A great soundtrack to a very weird movie.
As a songwriter myself, I adore Paul Williams.
As a kid, it started with “Rainbow Connection”, but as I got into my teens, I discovered this batshit fucking movie that not only STARS Paul, but was scored by him as well. The film sent me into a deep dive of Paul’s songwriting, and exposed me to just how brilliant he is.

It’s a very odd movie, and so are the songs, and not everybody is a fan. I can’t explain why it made such an impression on me as a teenager, or why it’s stayed with me all these years, but it’s essentially MY Rocky Horror Picture Show.

But I fully understand why people hate it. 😂

I’m just not one of those people.

This #controversial #punk #song was denied airplay by #BBC in 1977 due to its criticism of the #BritishGovernment–despite the fact that it had reached number two in the BBC’s own charts. Later, #police #harassed the band when it performed the song from a boat on the Thames.
