    It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me

    Originally posted on July 18, 2020

    On this day in 1980 ‘Glass Houses’ was at #1 on the strength of ‘It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me”.

    “Next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways
    It’s still rock and roll to me”

  2. I think that if you're roughly my age (65), you'll enjoy this. Rick Beato brings out the best of artists in his interviews in a relaxed, comfortable way.

  4. Rick Beato (bee-AH-toe) is THE best interviewer of musicians you will find. He has built a massive following on YouTube (5.1 million subscribers) which started with his "What makes this song great?" series. That's when I got hooked.
    His most recent interview (uploaded 7/13/26) is with Billy Joel. If you are a fan of Joel and his career, this is a much watch conversation (and at 77, Billy still plays and sings masterfully!)

  6. I follow/subscribe to a lot of content creators on #youtube, but I don't _really follow_ them, you know? Like their stuff comes to the top of my feed and Ill browse whats new, maybe watch a thing or two.. but I don't go out of my _way_ per se.

    Except for interviews by #RickBeato. Ooo. New interview! Its #billyjoel holy crap.
    And suddenly im 20 minutes in before I realize and I have to save it to watch after work.

    Such a good #music #interview person. No bullshit questions. All _music_ questions. What speaks to you as an artist. What made you feel?

  10. The Bridge turns 40 …

    #billyjoel #thebridge #eightiesmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #rockmusic #rock #philramone It's Billy's least favorite album but it's still damn good -- his 10th is released on July 9, 1986. It's the last of Billy's albums to be produced by Phil Ramone and the last with Doug Stegmeyer and Russell Javors. The bassist and guitarist had been working with Billy since the early days.

  12. I walk, or: Carrying less

    A Sijo

    sandals, Middle Eastern tan lines
    earbuds playing Billy Joel;
    the old words sound and sound right
    yet their teenage listener has blurred;
    midlife's now loosening its grip
    I walk on, carrying less

    Sijo?

    A Korean verse form related to haiku and tanka and comprised of three lines of 14-16 syllables each, for a total of 44-46 syllables. Each line contains a pause near the middle, similar to a caesura, though the break need not be metrical. The first half of the line contains six to nine syllables; the second half should contain no fewer than five. Originally intended as songs, sijo can treat romantic, metaphysical, or spiritual themes. Whatever the subject, the first line introduces an idea or story, the second supplies a “turn,” and the third provides closure. Modern sijo are sometimes printed in six lines.

    Let’s write poetry together!

    When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.

    Ben Harper (b. 1969)

    Would you like to create poetry with me and have a completed poem of yours featured here at the Skeptic’s Kaddish? I am very excited to have launched the ‘Poetry Partners’ initiative and am looking forward to meeting and creating with you… Check it out!
