Oh and yes for your earlier question, I'm a New Yorker.

After that they did the movie and came back on SNL as Blues Brothers proper, sans Bumble Bee costume.Oh actually, they did the bee appearance, and then two episodes as the Blues Brothers proper, all before they did the movie. They were also #1 on Billboard and did live concert appearances before the movie. They left SNL in part to do the movie and then didn't come back (well John came back once by himself). That's what I find so fascinating about the whole idea, the audience feel in love with the music first, and THEN got to know them as characters.
