I've seen the lights go out in Flushing

]No artist appears on my personal Top 500 more than Billy Joel. He's at Nos. 466, 363, 351, 335, 269, 146, 103, 31 and 11 -- the nine separate entries edging out the Spinners by one and Grand Funk ("Bad Time," No. 70) by eight

And Swing Out Sister by seven!

="sharpie"]...Dickshot, on further investigation, you are correct about Meat Loaf. I seem to remember him being in the booth for a Mets game and so assumed he was with the good guys. He isn't. I don't like his music, either.

Dissin' the Meat?
Byte me, you vegan.

I've carried this stupidity on for five pages, but I don't propose that he'll desecrate anything. Only that it's ugly and cynical for him to be coming out of retirement and campaigning for positions of honor in somebody else's story.

mgim: >>>Zeppelin�s remaining original members Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist John Paul Jones will headline the concert with late drummer John Bonham�s son, Jason, on drums<<<

NIce to see them include J. P. Jones ... who was left out of the Page/Plant money grubbing
stint(s) they did. KB called me today with this news and I asked her if Bonham's son was
playing with them .... how did I know? ... it's The Zed Leppelin ....

J. P. Jones was so much of the sound of Zep that got forgotten. All kinds of keyboards up
the wahzoo, a couple of acoustic insturments like the mandolin. His bass playing was great
with one of heavy metals best ever drummers. They could sell out a joint like Shea Sta-
dium for like a week , and I hope that's in the hopper.

This is tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow .....

The Billy Joel pages in The Great American Sosngbook are the ones with the gilded edges. He is a peerless performer spanning every genre. A building cannot truly be said to have stood until he has performed his music within its walls.

My calendar marks the days longingly for his performances at Shea. They are already a legend 13-14 months out --- justly so, say I.

Lol, just saw this--see my reference in the Grand Funk thread
