Re: Billy Joel "And So It Goes" Documentary on HBO Max

It's a well done doc, but while I was watching it I couldn't help but feel Joel has always been a man "out of time." In the late 70s he was performing live with a sport-coat on and it just looks nothing like any of his contemporaries. Looking at a lot of that footage I'd think to myself &q...

Re: How much did Trash help Alice Cooper?

I've always preferred "Raise Your Fist and Yell" to "Trash," but "RYFaY" had several things going against it from the start. Perhaps the biggest was that it was on MCA, a label where rock bands went to die in the mid to late 80s. As a hair band adjacent guy MCA wasn't d...

Re: Bad Rock Career Decisions

Roger Waters leaving Pink Floyd is way up there. That band was massive, he pretty much had his way with it in later years, and it was a RUDE awakening for him how little the public knew who he was -- or cared he wasn't in the band anymore. A hard lesson in the importance of name branding. No one “k...

She probably died of natural causes, and he was then in no condition to even realize she was dead. She was thirty years younger than he was, I can't imagine he would have had the strength to kill anyone.

The sound on the self-titled album is absolute shit. Even at fourteen I thought the album sounded like it had been recorded underwater.
