i went to the dress rehearsal, and in addition to 'only you' they also did
'sour times'-the revamped version they've been doing live. sour times was
great, as it gave beth a chance to belt it out. the painful part is that they
(snl) actually do 2 hours worth of material in rehearsal, and based on how it
all goes, they choose 90 minutes of show. given what i saw, i would have
thought they'd choose both phead songs, band tunings, and the band sitting
around the green room before some of the crap that must have made the show.
we didn't even stay for the broadcast. snl is sooooooooooo bad.....
