Saturday

I didn’t watch it personally that first night but I certainly heard about it on Monday morning! The musical guests in the first year really helped new wave kick disco off the charts — I remember seeing Elvis Costello and Devo for the first time on that show. By the time I was in college the next year the dorm lounge was packed at 11:35 every Saturday night.
