Rough Trade Interview

Pre-teen World interviews Rough Trade.

This is an SCTV clip from the early 80's. Rough Trade had a major hit with the song "Highschool Confidential" at the time, and here they are being interviewed by the kids on Pre-teen World.

I love the part where Eugene Levy can barely hold in his laughter, enjoying the stupidity of it all with John Candy. Amazing performances all around by all cast.

Note this is pre-MuchMusic, pre-MTV.

Ah shit...took me 2 minutes to grab my...well, you know. I laughed that long, and then some! This...comes from a time that will be rare to duplicate. Stars amongst stars. Frickin shame what's going on now. Is there the followup video?

Honestly, this comes from a time when talent was so everywhere, and under-promoted. I miss those days.

@BeeRich33 - Decent.

My favourite part is just after 1:40 when Eugene Levy quickly moves his head away for fear of totally cracking up, and John Candy is also barely holding in the laughter at the absurdity of the whole thing.

I don't have the follow-up video at this time.

@BayviewFinch Could you imagine how often these guys must try to hold back their laughter? It really is absurd. I often wonder how often they break into character (instead of breaking out) during every day life. I do it and people ... don't get it. Oh well.
