At one point Ghostbusters was going to be called Ghost Smashers which means the song would have said "Smashin makes me feel so good!" Although to be fair that isn't much worse than "Bustin makes me feel so good."

I was today years old when I discovered the keyboardist and arranger of several of my favourite albums by my favourite band is a trans woman (and maybe intersex?). HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS

♫ Piano Man ♫

What would you say to a little Billy Joel this morning?  I’ve always liked this one and I haven’t played it for a while, so … In 1972-1973, Billy Joel worked at the Executive Room bar in Los Angeles as a piano player using the name “Bill Martin”.  He was in dispute with his then-recording company and took the job to pay the bills while waiting for his lawyers to straighten things out back in New…

45 Years Ago: The Summer of Summer Began… first ‘Hot Stuff’ then ‘Bad Girls’

45 Years Ago: The Summer of Summer Began… first “Hot Stuff” then “Bad Girls.” How Donna Summer’s two biggest hits dominated the charts and made music history!

(May 27, 2024).  Memorial Day marks the unofficial beginning of summer in the U.S.   In 1979, it marked the official beginning of Summer! Donna Summer’s summer, that is. Exactly 45 years ago this week, on the Billboard chart dated Saturday, June 2, 1979, which covered the period from May 27-June 2, Donna Summer’s “Hot Stuff” moved from No. 2 to No. 1 where it spent three non-consecutive…

Goats Head Soup, 1973

Image 1: (From left to right; Mick Jagger, Bill Wyman, Charlie Watts, Mick Taylor, Keith Richards)

Released August '73, each band member is depicted here wearing a veil over their faces. There were 3 different cover concepts - a goat's head in soup, the entire band depicted as centaurs (both deemed too uncomfortable or unsettling for some) and the one we all know today (Image 2), Mick Jagger covered with a chiffon veil.

You remember a track called "Ruby Tuesday?" Well, from a visual point of view, one of the funniest things I have ever seen was Bill and Keith playing a single double-bass! Bill couldn't manage it, he's very thin and he just couldn't hold the strings down and play as well, so he marked the notes on the neck of the bass in white pencil. He wasn't very sure, anyway, and he held the strings down with both hands while Keith plucked it. It was really beautiful!
