One of my favorite music stories. Dead Kennedys were invited on the Ed Sullivan Show to perform California Uber Alles. They came out in t-shirts with huge S's printed on them, then begin to play the song they were supposed to play, then Jello shouts "Hold it!" and the song falls apart. "We've gotta prove we're adults now. We're not a punk rock band, we're a new wave band." Then the band members pull down the ties that were thrown behind their backs, changing the S's on the shirts to dollar signs, then start playing this song. They were not invited back to the Ed Sullivan show, and it took six years before Dead Kennedys were able to put out a recording of it, on the compilation Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death.
Actually, it was at the Bammies (Bay Area Music magazine awards). All of the Bay heavyweights were in attendance: Huey Lewis, Sammy Hagar, Starship, Eddie Money, etc...
@@FatbirdKaraoke if I recall , the record jacket said the record execs were pealing the upholstery off the arms of the seats with their fingernails . You missed we'll shoot some golf and shoot some dooope
