During my teenage years, Saturday Night Live was a show that was must see TV for my friends and me. This was the era of Chris Farley, Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Norm MacDonald, etc., and everybody seemed to be firing on all cylinders. As this old guard changed to a new one, one that included Will Ferrell, Tracy Morgan, and Jimmy Fallon, we were happy that the quality of the sketches seemed to remain high. It was at this time that the show produced arguably one of its most memorable and often quoted skits, featuring Christopher Walken as the Bruce Dickinson and his involvement with the band Blue Öyster Cult.
