patti smith loved gilda radners character. why is amy winehouse coming up.
she’s no patti smith! i doubt she’ll have a 40 year long carreer like patti smith. she inspired punk rock. amy winehouse is a trainwreck.


@whatsername1234 see you get it. she’s goofing on patti smith, who was a friend of gilda’s


absoluteley everyone knows thats who she’s playing, patti smith, amy winehouse couldn’t lick patti’s boots.


GE Smith ws also Gilda’s husband for a couple of years.


Amy Winehouse? She’s the last person that should be associated with this video. She’s not punk or rock. It’s more an homage to Patti Smith than anyone else.


She’s doing Courtney Love before Courtney. Check-out G.E. Smith on guitar. He became leader of the SNL house band in the mid to late 80′s.


@whatsername1234 You can split hairs on it all you want but in terms of dysfunctional BEHAVIOR Amy Winehouse IS very similar to the Candy Slice character. No one else but you is even disputing that obvious similarity.


@starqz and the only obvious similarity is drugs. performance wise and how shes dressed is totally different. at least in my eyes since i have an interest in punk rock in the 70s


@starqz again it was a parody of PUNK ROCK singers and musicians. and Amy Whinehouse shouldnt even be brought up cause she isnt a big icon of punk or even rock and roll in general. shes just a tweaker. and also it pre-dates her.


@artrue13 That is indeed GE Smith, but this was before they were married.


@whatsername1234 Then you should know what I said was an ironic comparison to how similar Amy Winehouse is to Candy Slice, and how Patti Smith obviously inspired the character of Candy Slice, in looks certainly if not behavior. Amy Winehouse IS the Candy Slice of the 2000′s..I don’t think you’re too ignorant to see the obvious similarites to the two of them.


@starqz “amy winehouse” has nothing to do with this! this is the third comment ive seen where she is mentioned. this is truly pathetic, im 15 years old and even i know this is a parody of punk rock singers in the 70′s more specifically punk legend, Patti Smith. people are ignorant…


None of the female comics on SNL could touch Gilda talents…some have some close, but none have touched Gilda’s star. R.I.P. She surely was one of a kind.


Pakistan: Christian woman sentenced to death for “blasphemy”
Apparently all she did was confess the Christian faith. Islamic Tolerance Alert: “Punjab: Christian woman sentenced to death for blasphemy,” from Asia News, November 9 (thanks to C. Cantoni):

Islamabad (AsiaNews/Agencies) – Pakistan has “crossed a line” in sentencing a Christian woman to death for blasphemy. Asia Bibi, a 37-year-old farm worker mother of two, was convicted of committing blasphemy before her fellow workers


@snare222 ahh i’ve never thought of that!


Thank you so much for posting this! She was one of a kind! And this was one of my faves!


there’s her ex GE Smith!


And there’s her ex husband GE Smith!


man, Kristen Stewart really let herself go…


This video inspired me so much that I just went out and bought Exile on Main Street and a Half Gallon of Old Crow.


Best Patti Smith parody ever


i finaly found it tg, she was one of the greats, check out the rest of her life on youtube and books and videos, she is missed,


Candy Slice — one of Gilda’s many great characters. I wish there had more sketches with Candy Slice. The music is actually pretty good. RIP Gilda. We miss ya…


That hottie on the guitar, I think that was Gilda’s 1st husband.


Love this!
