Billy Joel
Greatest Hits Volumes 1, 2, & 3

Have had Billy Joel's Greatest Hits playing throughout the month. Any GHs is bound to have omissions, but I miss Vienna and Honesty most of all, although I have the latter from his live Russia album somewhere.

I also tried to find the Billy Joel SNL drunk driving skit with Lindsey Lohan, but came up empty.

Someone on a podcast recently caught me off guard talking about "Running Up That Hill" as they were proceeding as though the lyrics "If I only could I'd make a deal with god and get him to swap our places" meant Kate and god swapping places. I'd always assumed it meant asking god for Kate and her boyfriend to swap places, or for men and women more broadly to swap places (and walk a mile in each other's shoes).

It was my understanding too that it was about Kate and her boyfriend (or a man and a woman) being able to swap places and thusly be able to understand one another better, etc.  I hadn't heard the theory that it was Kate and God swapping places!

Don't know those particular albums, but I do like John Lee Hooker's music and have a couple of CDs of it.

Laurie Anderson: O Superman - Recalling how startling she was when this recording appeared on the music scene in 1982, and hard to believe that it still sounds so modern.

One of my favourite vocalists of any genre.

Not just these six albums.
