It may seem like a bit of a career comedown, but at least he didn't make Wild Wild West and slap a guy at the Oscars.

#OnThisDay 1985 : The pilot episode of Saturday Live was broadcast on Channel 4.
It would feature the likes of French and Saunders, Robbie Coltrane and Adrian Edmondson and Rik Mayall and would pave the way for new series (and more!) the following year.

Morrisons Radio have replaced the festive numbers with, amongst other things, Psycho Killer.
(Also Say What You Want By Texas, on the hour every hour.)

Europe's "Carrie" is more memorable if you imagine he's serenading Gary instead.

I love that Smash Hits kept rolling into the Fiona Apple era. We're so obsessed with our own associations sometimes.

Morrisons Radio this morning went a little off piste by treating the gathered throng to "Your Love" by The Outfield (1986, #6 US, #83 UK).
Hadn't heard that in, what, 39 years?

Tori Amos's version of "I Don't Like Mondays" (2001) is now older than the Boomtown Rats original was at the time (1979).
