tinhuvielartanisToday's featurette is "The Saga Begins," which was of monumental importance to us geeky Star Wars fans who were all over The Phantom Menace like a freckle. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
green_goblin7t and I would listen to this song and just titter with glee. It was one of the few times he and I were united in our love for something. A Jedi and a Sith figuratively linked arm in arm, singing along at work instead of doing our jobs.....good times, good times! I got to see Al in concert for the first time when he was touring to promote Running with Scissors, the album this song is on. When he sang this song, in full costume, and came to the part where Qui Gon Jinn meets up with Darth Maul and "now he's toast," I shouted out so loud that I got Al's attention! Oh, it should be of note that this song merited the traditional lit lighters one sees at many concerts. It was a glorious moment. Al did it again during the Poodle Hat concert too, but I was too verklempt to scream out like I did the time before; however, when we got backstage to talk to Al, I did tell him how this song had touched many women in the Darth Maul Estrogen Brigade. He seemed rather amused by that, as well he should be.
So, without further ado, I present the instant classic THE SAGA BEGINS
