But my all time favorite English Beat song is “Save It For Later.”

I just will never understand the appeal of rap. It’s like not even neutral but an assault on my ears.

Same Old Lang Syne - Dan Fogelberg

I was in a melancholic period of my life and that darned song was a snapshot of what had just occurred to me only a few months before the song was released. It still brings back good yet sorrowful memories.

Good music is good music regardless of where it comes from. Too bad you can’t appreciate it.

Pete Townshend also used to cover it. In fact, he and David Gilmour called up Dave Wakeling to ask him how he tuned the guitar for the song.

I accidentally fell in love with Billy Joel musically over the past 3 weeks.

I’d sort of tuned him out after The Stranger. So for the 30 years he was “there” but I never listened.

So now I’m in this wacky phase of listening to “And so it goes” 3-5 times a day.

Did he do “Come Monday?”

I have to tell you, I imagined you as much older.

Hallelujah
I've seen your flag on a marble arch,

but, listen, love -- love is not some kind of victory march.

No, it's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah...

It's not a complaint that you hear tonight,

it's not the laughter of someone who claimed to have seen the light.

No, it's a cold and it's a very lonely Hallelujah ...

Yeah and even though it all went wrong

I'll stand right here before the lord of song

with nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah.

[Technically it was 1984 ... but I don't really care]

Right? Loved Squeeze! Argy Bargy was such a great album!

I actually just saw the video for “Matter of Trust” and I was sort of ticked at myself for not being all about it back when.

I e been watching his interviews and various master classes, he’s hilarious and my thinking now is that he didn’t get near enough credit for being the songsmith that he is.

Couldn’t stand Billy Joel, or Rush, or Yes. Guess I just don’t like NY sound, whatever that is lol or higher pitched voices.

Interesting. He uses his teardrop guitar on that one.

I was listening to Elvis today and thinking, That was 60 years ago. That would be like 1920 music in 1980.

It's interesting to hear teenagers singing songs like Harlem Shuffle in 2017. It would be like my classmates singing songs like Tell That to the Marines when I was a teenager.

Thanks! Billy is probably my all-time favorite. You may already be familiar with it, but I really recommend The Nylon Curtain. Great stuff! I think I will make tomorrow The Bridge. Well, tomorrow is today, as Billy says!

Here's a great little-known number:

Billy Joel - Under Silver Seas

Kind of a sad one. I think he calls both this one and Tomorrow Is Today his suicide notes (he did attempt it).

Here's one I haven't heard until just this minute:

Billy Joel - Great Ships and Great Oceans

It makes a great first impression.
