    …oh yeah, whatever your opinion on Elvis Costello ever having been “punk”, his SNL appearance with the Attractions was definitively one of the most punk as fuck moments on U.S. tv. I was 14, just got home from a night at the roller rink in the shitty N.E. PA town I grew up in and had smoked a couple hits of a joint I bought for $1 from one of the skate guards when I saw it live. First, there was Pete Thomas wearing the “Thanks Malc” t-shirt (the Pistols had cancelled) which was kinda cool, but Elvis stopping “Less Than Zero” (Columbia had insisted he perform it) and burning into “Radio Radio”, a song about the nightmare I felt I was living in, was huge to me.

    I always love watching At The Drive-In throw Robbie Williams chair across the studio on Jools Holland while thrashing through an atonal, completely disheveled performance of One Armed Scissor.

    I was on set for the Dickies on CPO Sharkey. Stan Lee was so impressed! I found out minutes before they were on … and managed a photo pass. Fun pix and fun times!

    PIL on American Bandstand, I was shooting that too, but I was so high I could hardly take pix. You can see a woman photographer in a pink rockabilly dress, always looking at her camera instead of thru it … c’est moi. LOL!

    Tom Snyder: see the girl with the gun? That’s ME! Those are MY photos, which opened the very first Tom Snyder show. The images Kim shows are from someone else. Ha ha ha … my past on this thread. Most published West Coast early punk rock photographer but dismissed by most cos I’m from LA. OH well … didn’t you hear, LA wasn’t part of punk rock, so say the powers that be. My photos prove otherwise.

    Oh, and you forgot the Patti Smith Group on SNL in 1976.

    DEVO on SNL blew my tiny teen mind. I must have been 13 or 14, and quietly watching with my functionally drunk right wing father, on a rare night he let me stay up… “what is going on here? this music isn’t music, but it’s great! and they’re robots!!!”

      Truly inspired–the band’s name was Pain, and their only song was “Pain.” More bands should be like that nowadays.
