Lucy Lawless is a Stevie fan. The burrito angle was comic, possibly brought on by the idea that several aged rock stars last prime have gone on to open restaurants. (Sandra Bunhardt had done the same with a sketch about Christine.) I remember watching it at the time and being amazed at how Lawless managed to capture so many of the Stevie vocal and body mannerisms.
