12. Reading the so called "biggies" made me so sad...Sic transit gloria mundi

The reason Belushi, Ackroyd, Murray, Ratner were grand, was not just for being comediens. Not even just for writing their own material. What was grand then, SNL was actually satire ( the means by which the powerless speak truth to power). Turn this upside down and you get bad taste - like kicking an infirm, or Rush Limpball (Molly Ivins said it better, but I don't have the quote).
SNL lost their moral compass/courage- therefore stopped being funny. Many years ago.
