In 1986, I doubt there were a dozen Indian men in the Screen Actors Guild.

I don’t get it.

Meh, but a cool music show in he Rainbow Room would be pretty sweet. And Times Square would have been even better. The Virgin Music store there was always fun. They had an incredible pop culture books store too.

I think it may have been more of a new format in flux than any coke jitters.

No. He paid for it and believed in it. That’s much more difficult.

Hosting Saturday Night Live may have once been a distinguished merit badge of post-hippie NYC liberal politics but those days are long gone. Musk’s interesting and weird.
