1. It's not on here in PT at 6. It's on at 9. It's not live.

Can’t wait to watch it later though!

2. No, not live.

Lots of music; I grew up with Joni Mitchell so very nostalgic.

4. I Wish I Had A River...

7. Oh yeah. She's an utter genius. I'm so glad the Bidens care.

Watched the White House Holiday Performance last night and snuggled all the way through just because they were all so human.

3. Joni Mitchell

Brandi Carlisle did an amazing job of representing the album Blue with “River.”

I’ve listened to that album over fifty years, and it still amazes and touches me.

5. Yes, it's timeless, as is so much

of her music.

6. Now the honor to Loren Michaels......where are all the ACTORS THAT MADE SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE

THE BEST LATE NIGHT SHOW TO WATCH……. JMHO, these actors/comedians are not worthy of the old guard.

11. Oh, IDK

IMO, the two most underrated SNL cast-members of all time are Gilda Radner and Kenan Thompson. She was extraordinarily talented, and a comic genius. He is the longest-running sketch cast-member, and a comic genius.

8. Bette Midler, Justino Diaz and Berry Gordy too

Great show ending with Stevie Wonder. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed these shows.

12. Interesting

that Stevie did 'Superstition', in these times full of conspiracies, that has the line:

When you believe in things
That you don't understand,
Then you suffer,
Superstition ain't the way

non-techno-savvy that I am - hope I can 'stream' it at some point.....
