SNL: Is anything left to subvert?

SNL
Bored, without dates, our parents
with more active social lives than
we had, we'd sit home on Saturday
nights skimming undetectable a-
Tube Talk
mounts of booze from our folks' bar.
A little scotch, a little vodka, a little
Grand Marnier, a little Sterno
. . . drinks they wouldn't make you
in bars even if you wore a flame
proof suit. By the time the whole
cast, Radner, Curtin, Aykroyd, Chase,
Morris, Belushi, Murray and some
great band like the Grateful Dead or,
the B-52s or the Talking Heads,
gathered on stage to wave so long,
we were as zoned as Belushi probably
was. We knew what "wired" meant,
too. "Saturday Night Live" taught
us.
Now Saturday Night Live is back.
It's been 1 1 years since Chevy Chase

The Coneheads on the old "Saturday Night Live."
Emmy awards, since they were hailed
as the most creative burst of energy
ever to hit TV and cursed as irrever
ent, filthy, anti-American ....
The newest SNL looks a lot like
the first SNL, with its house band
(The Hall and Oates band) and a
mixed-bag Manhattan dress code.
The first two shows even managed
to get political without sounding
like strident reactionaries. But the
shows are relying heavily on SNL
alumni, even in their choice of mus
ical guests like Paul Simon and
Randy Newman. In short, SNL still
can't seem to climb aboard the
unfathomably dull '80s. They don't
have the electricity or the material.
They seem too confused by the
times themselves ever to manage a
scathing parody. By next season
Dennis Miller, who does the new
SNL news spot, will have a movie
contract.

Letter
D AT nvi tor c
' anti-popular
I would like to convey my apprecia
tion for the Daily Nebraskan's movie,
music and concert reviews. The DN
reviews always answer my questions
about new movies or albums. When
faced, with the difficult decision of
what movie to see this afternoon, I
always revert back to the review given
in the DN. I look to see if the reviewer
in the DN ripped to shreds, disliked or
advised people to miss this particular
movie, and if so, I go see it. To see how a
new album sounds all I need to do is
check the DN Review Board, and it the
reviewer didn't care for it you can bet it
sounds pretty good and will be on the
top of the charts.
Review of disappointing concerts
assure me that a good time was proba
bly had by all. I accommodate the DN
on your coverage and your unique style
of communicating to everyone that the
best blessing a movie or album could
receive is to receive a poor review from
your staff. Your past record is clear: the
most popular movies and records are
the ones that the DN staff dislikes.
Thanks again.

distinct fiber arts: american quilts,
oriental carpets and comtemporary
fiber.

chose the Oriental carpet pieces
from Nebraska collections. These
Asian and Middle Eastern carpets
date from the late 19th and early
20th centuries.
Kirk Winn will speak on oriental
carpets Sunday at 2 p.m. in the
Sheldon Auditorium.
