ON this date in 1975 - "Saturday Night Live" was broadcast for the first time with George Carlin as the guest host. Janis Ian performed "At Seventeen" and "In the Winter." Billy Preston played "Nothing from Nothing" and "Fancy Lady." The Boyz, Carlin's managers, had wanted the band to be Blue Oyster Cult which was Carlin's fave band, but network execs thought the band a little too racy for TV. No problem, the after party had BOC rockin' w/ the Boyz singing the refrain 'Don't Fear the Reaper...'
