      I was too young for this era (I was 9 at the time) but I've been watching a LOT of clips of it (and I've never even cared about the show), including a lot of Victoria's songs, dances, and poetry, and there's such an innocence about it all. When I learned that Victoria left in 92 it made perfect sense because I can't see a place in the detached, ironic 90s for this stuff. Even Phil only lasted a couple more years.

    "All the snow has turned to water
    Christmas days have come and gone
    Broken toys and faded colors
    Are all that's left to linger on
    I hate graveyards and old pawn shops
    For they always bring me tears
    I can't forgive the way they rob me
    Of my childhood souvenirs
    Memories they can't be boughten
    They can't be won at carnivals for free
    Well it took me years
    To get those souvenirs
    And I don't know how they slipped away from me
    Broken hearts and dirty windows
    Make life difficult to see
    That's why last night and this mornin'
    Always look the same to me
    I hate reading old love letters
    For they always bring me tears
    I can't forgive the way they rob me
    Of my sweetheart's souvenirs
    Memories they can't be boughten
    They can't be won at carnivals for free
    Well it took me years
    To get those souvenirs
    And I don't know how they slipped away from me"

      Why would you think that someone who likes the late '80s SNL cast the best would also think that "the Eagles are the best band in the history of music"? During this cast's heyday it had been nearly a decade since the Eagles had even released an album. This is the only SNL cast I care about and I couldn't care less about the Eagles.
