Certainly in the "he was still alive?" category. 

Absolutely. I remember him appearing on Frank & Mike in the 1980's, and it always sounded as if he had one foot in the grave.

A rarity from Billy Joel! "Great Wall of China", I'm guessing.

Little known alternative fact - the Mongols paid for the GWoC.

GWoc is from the underrated "River Of Dreams", which I guess effectively was Joel's swan song.

Don't forget the 20% "surcharge" for BBQ.

BIG NEWS: Pinfield out -- he's back in rehab apparently.

So, whoever had "January 3, 2017" in the pool can pick up their prize!

You can figure out anything with google.

I won't spoil it since I cheated.

Ok, got it now.

I think there's been enough discussion...

Nominees for something..

How about a hint?

I haven't listened yet, and didn't see the mystery revealed

1. Chic, Good Times
2. ELO, All Over the World
3. Depeche Mode, People Are People
4. J. Geils Band, Just Can’t Wait
5. Journey, Stone in Love
6. Yes, Does It Really Happen
7. Joan Baez, Blowin’ in the Wind
8. Pearl Jam, Better Man
9. Janet Jackson, That’s The Way Love Goes
10. The Cars, My Best Friend’s Girl

Haven't listened, but I'm stumped. I'd say it might have something to do with bands that have members similar to other groups, but Baez and Janet throw that hypothesis away.

In Memoriam, Happy Birthday / Re: Fidel Castro, dead at 90

« on: November 26, 2016, 01:18:14 PM »

so is this RIP or RIH?

Judging by some reactions I've seen online, I think the best characterization is just 'dead'.

BOS Robert Tepper, a song I'd almost forgotten about.

Well, is this the kind of conversation obviated by Facebook?  I'm pretty wacked out by all this darkness.

No doubt it is really bad news. What's missing are constructive answers as to what to do about it. I don't believe rioting in Oakland is one of them.

And then there's the Southwest Airlines spot with people lip-synching Journey's "Anyway you want it"...

Good Lord, that is awful.
