synopsis
This was Scott & Gary's Bar Mitzvah episode, number 13. They needed a real man’s band and got it with the Clintons' twangy country rock with a hint of glam. The Clintons were staple of New York’s cow punk scene, and this episode had the best looking couples ever seen slow dancing on Public Access TV. Scott & Gary did their wrestling promo years before it was considered good family entertainment. The Clintons management was also involved with Natalie Merchant and Whatever Number of Maniacs. They said they would love to be on. Truth was Scott had seen them at Folk City one night, and he thought they were b-o-r-i-n-g.
