December 17, 1977 –
Elvis Costello and The Attractions made a rare United States television debut on Saturday Night Live when Sid Vicious and the Sex Pistols failed to show up for the gig.
Producer Lorne Michaels refused to allow Costello to perform Radio, Radio because of the song’s criticism of the broadcasting industry, but a few measures into Less than Zero, Costello halted his group and played the forbidden song.
Naughty, naughty Elvis
