These seven minutes are probably more responsible for me wanting to play music than anything else.
There’s no way I could have seen this in its first run, since I wasn’t even born until the next year. So I’m not sure when I actually caught it. The memories I have of it lead me to guess late ’70s, very early ’80s.
Thinking back on it now, I realize I thought — although I didn’t have the words to express it at the time — “Holy shit. I need to do that.”
The ironic thing is this is the sort of bad influence my parents were trying to keep me away from by sitting me in front of Sesame Street in the first place.
Sedition Street was brought to you today by the letter F, and the letter U.
