The 45th anniversary of Billy Joel's "52nd Street" album is being celebrated by the syndicated radio show In The Studio With Redbeard: The Stories Behind History's Greatest Rock Bands.
Here is the synopsis of the episode from Redbeard: William Martin Billy Joel has sold more albums in the U.S. than any pop/rock singer except for Elvis Presley. Superstar musicians in that rarefied league ( and many more only pretenders to it ) always surround themselves with gaggles of managers, "minders", assistants, agents, and promoters , and the size of the entourage doubles when they're on tour. So imagine my surprise when Billy Joel arrived for our scheduled interview at my Orlando hotel room door at the decidedly unhip hour of 9 a.m. on a Sunday morning - completely alone. (read more)
Summerlyn Powers just released her new EP "The Hive," and to celebrate we asked her to tell us about the title track. Here is the story: The concept behind the title track of the EP, "The Hive," was born because of a stranger's generosity at a drive-through.
My friends and I pulled up to the window to find that the car in front of us had paid for our food, so we thought we would pass it on. The man taking our order leaned out the window to look at the car we were about to pay for. "Those people? Are you sure?" he said with eyebrows raised. I told him yes and his response was, "Man, I gotta get some better friends." After handing us our food, we wished him the best in his search for community, and I drove away with a sense of gratitude. I dwelled on the fact that a loving community is a rare thing, and I forget that not everyone has that gift. (continue)
