For whatever reason, both St. Vincent and U2 posted covers of Led Zeppelin's so-iconic-it's-cliché "Stairway To Heaven" yesterday. It's like the inverse of that scene from Wayne's World where Mike Meyers is forbidden from playing the song's intro riff in a guitar shop -- just an abundance of "Stairway," more "Stairway" than anyone needs.

David Byrne isn't really the kind of guest that Saturday Night Live books anymore. Their musical selection typically trends towards artists that became popular in this millennium, or at least huge legacy artists that are promoting a new album (see Foo Fighters and U2 in 2017).
