And the other thing: How did you like Gilda Radner's impersonation of you on "Saturday Night Live"? We've always really enjoyed that.<br /><br />Ms. SMITH: Well, my band thought it was hilarious. When I was younger, I - it sort of bothered me because, you know, she makes a big thing about, you know, I think it's like the white powder and the vast amounts of cocaine in the recording studio. I had never even had cocaine. It wasn't how - it's not how I work. But I thought it was actually hilarious besides that. She was a great artist.<br /><br />It was - actually, it was a privilege to be played - it was a privilege to have Gilda Radner project what she thought I might be like. And the funniest part was since there was a big controversy over the armpit hair on the cover of "Easter," she brushed the hair under her arms, and I think she had like a foot of hair coming from her armpit, and we were all laughing so hard.<br /><br />She was a great artist, and cocaine or not, I salute her. And I feel very lucky to have been, you know, portrayed by Gilda.</i> <a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=122059809" rel="nofollow">linkage</a>chickelithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10773887469972534979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-81736992928418376052016-12-10T22:23:20.028-05:002016-12-10T22:23:20.028-05:00Gilda Radner did a great parody of Smith.

The show was in Florence, Italy -- September, 1979. The show was chaotic: She was actually held hostage on stage after she showed some patriotism by raising a huge American flag behind the stage. <a href="http://acrazychicken.blogspot.com/2011/01/50-years-of-mytunes-return-to-florence.html" rel="nofollow">More here</a>.<br /><br />And yet, there is something very magnetic about her -- at least for me. <br /><br /> chickelithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10773887469972534979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-24047262325872502882016-12-10T18:18:39.730-05:002016-12-10T18:18:39.730-05:00Learn the lines?
