Wow. I've had some problems with my computer speakers and only got them fixed last night. So I just listened to your video then Greg. Who'd have thought? Billy Joel? I had always written him off as just another commercial muso with his 'Uptown Girl' and 'Piano Man'. All very good and competent and all but just entertainment and fairly superficial. And a Beatles fan too? Even better. I can't see any connection between his song and the REM song ITEOTWAWKI. REM is dreaming if they think BJ used it as the basis of his song. Funnily enough I was reading some of Patty Boyd's book last night and the part I was reading was about how she watched George Harrison composing a good part of "My Sweet Lord" at their kitchen table and other parts he did in the studio with Billy Preston. If he did any thing it was unconscious. I know he lost the case but he ended up owning the rights to 'He's So Fine' due to the duplicity of his lawyer,Klein, when he secretly bought the rights to 'He's so Fine' for himself. And nice one Seamus for the Living Colour song!
I just find it hard to understand how people could have fallen for all that Duck and Cover shit and actually believe the Russkies were going to nuke them? Like a mass hysteria. We had quite a few Canadians and Americans come here to live and be as far away from that madness as possible. Too bad about the English dropping their bombs all over the South Australian desert and the French dropping all theirs off New Zealand's coast. Unfortunately idiots are everywhere. Mostly in the military or attracted to it.
