CBS is embracing the Piano Man.

Ahead the Super Bowl, the network announced it would stream Billy Joel’s 100th concert at Madison Square Garden on Sunday, April 14 at 9 pm ET/PT. The two hour special, titled The 100th: Billy Joel at Madison Square Garden — The Greatest Run Of All Time, marks the first time a Billy Joel concert will air on a broadcast network. It will be filmed at his March 28 show, and will also be available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+.

The news comes as Joel is set to end his MSG residency this July with his 150th career performance at the New York arena. His first came in late 1978, when Joel, who was touring on behalf of his 52nd Street album, headlined the venue for his first time. In early 2014, he began a monthly residency as MSG’s first “music franchise,” and has sold out every show since. He’s shrewdly changed up his set list from performance to performance, and recruited special guests like Tony Bennett, Bruce Springsteen and Olivia Rodrigo.

The final show of his residency is set for July. It will be his 104th show in the series, and his 150th performance there. “I’m kind of flabbergasted that it lasted as long as it did,” Joel said at a news conference last year. “My team tells me that we could continue to sell tickets, but 10 years, 150 shows — all right already!” All told, the record-setting residency is expected to gross more than $250 million, according to Pollstar. Joel has no plans to retire, however; in fact, he’s scheduled to criss-cross the country later this year, headlining baseball stadiums with opening acts like Stevie Nicks, Sting and Rod Stewart.

The televised concert announcement arrives a week after Joel premiered his new single, Turn the Lights Back On, live at the Grammy awards, also on CBS. The romantic ballad, produced by Freddy Wexler, was the 74-year-old singer’s first original song in 17 years. Sample line: “I’m late / But I’m here right now / And I’m trying to find the magic.” Despite prolific stage work, the last time Joel shared new music was way back in 2007, when he released the love song All My Life and protest tune, Christmas in Fallujah.

The CBS/Paramount concert special is a co-production of Sony Music Entertainment and Enliven Entertainment. Steve Cohen, Barry Ehrmann and Paul Dugdale will serve as executive producers, with Dugdale also set to direct. Sony Music Vision is the distributor. It follows other popular televised concert events, including those featuring Elton John, Adele and Taylor Swift.

BE ENTHRALLED

Her name is Heiress Bridget Rose Dugdale and to this day she is the first and only female art heistman to ever plan, execute, and take responsibility for her crimes. She stole over twenty works at various times, which would have already given her a name in criminality had she not been a woman.

Her most remembered heist is when she stole a work by the artist Vermeer from the Russborough House in 1970, when she was around thirty. She played an important role in Northern Ireland getting out of British rule and grew up during the Blitz (so a blitz baby by her birthday) She had a role in a multitude of movements against the reinstatement of many child labor, woman labor, gender and social laws and constructs. She grew up around British soldiers, her father being a Colonel, but that was tossed out the window when she ended up backing the IRA with the hundreds of other women. Women were arrested left and right for the murder of Brit soldiers and the bombing of many cities where they would push 150 pound bombs in baby carriages.

She was a criminal not because of the influence of her partner or her parents money but because of her own beliefs and she pushed them as far as she could and stood firmly by them. When she was inevitably caught and put on trial she didn't give any of her workman's names away (who were more like men who lifted art because she wasn't strong enough) and took great pride in her crimes, when she was released she didn't at all hide the fact that she was an art heistman and she wore those crimes like a badge of honour.

She also happened to be in a publicated domestic ménage à trois with a married man where she provided financial support to him and his wife!

More on how she was raised is that she grew up in an extremely posh family where her mother was strict about etiquette versus what was popular, they didn't interact with the poorer community at all because her mom didn't want her family to be seen as dirty.

Rose originally was raised to be a debutante and was presented as one before the Queen for a year before she got and held a spot in Oxford University! She studied the current world events and what was happening which fueled very heavily into her protests and her heist. People said she was influenced by her partner, activist Walter Heaton, because her desires and beliefs were first totally individual while she was with him, and people used that to try and explain why an Heiress would go to such lengths.

Many people compare to a woman named Patty Hearst. Hearst's childhood was scarily similar to Rose's but her reason for being included in the heist industry is wildly different. Hearst was kidnapped and seduced into acting as a decoy for the Symbionese Liberation Army (also known as the SLA) at the age of 20! Whereas Rose was 30, as mentioned before, graduated with her PhD and again, planned, executed and took responsibility for her crimes. Hearst, after getting out of jail, rebuked that it was of her own free will and begged for mercy in front of the media while Rose refused to give interviews to most people. She took a few but she owned up to her heists and usually smiled when reminiscing on them!

For the interested reader, diaries and notebooks can be placed in two categories: in the first the text is intended to be official, manifest, aimed at a readership. The notebook becomes a training ground for the outward self, and, as in the case of the nineteenth-century artist and diarist Marie Bashkirtseff, an open declaration, an unending monologue, addressed to an invisible but sympathetic ear. Still I’m fascinated by the other sort of diary, the working tool, the sort the writer-as-craftsperson keeps close at hand, of little apparent use to the outsider. Susan Sontag, who practised this art form for decades, said of her diary that it was ‘an instrument, a tool’ – I’m not sure this is entirely apt. Sontag’s notebooks (and the notebooks of other writers) are not just for the storage of ideas, like nuts in squirrels’ cheeks, to be consumed later. Nor are they filled with quick outlines of events, to be recollected when needed. Notebooks are an essential daily activity for a certain type of person, loose-woven mesh on which they hang their clinging faith in reality and its continuing nature. Such texts have only one reader in mind, but this reader is utterly implicated. Break open a notebook at any point and be reminded of your own reality, because a notebook is a series of proofs that life has continuity and history, and (this is most important) that any point in your own past is still within your reach. Sontag’s notebooks are filled with such proofs: lists of films she has seen, books she has read, words that have charmed her, the dried husks of completed endeavours – and these are largely limited to the notebooks; they almost never feed into her books or films or articles, they are neither the starting point, nor the underpinning for her public work. They are not intended as explanations for another reader (perhaps for the self, although they are scribbled down at such a lick that sometimes it’s hard to make out what is meant). Like a fridge, or as it was once called, an ice house, a place where the fast-corrupting memory-product can be stored, a space for witness accounts and affirmations, or the material and outward signs of immaterial and elusive relations, to paraphrase Goncharov.

(via Rose Dugdale, Heiress Turned Irish Independence Fighter, Dies at 82 - The New York Times)

Rose Dugdale, an Oxford-educated Englishwoman who left a life of wealth to become a partisan activist fighting for Irish independence, in a career that included bomb making, hijacking and art theft, died on Monday in Dublin. She was 82.

Her death, in a nursing home, was confirmed by Aengus O Snodaigh, a friend and a member of the Irish Parliament. No cause was given.

Throughout the 1970s, Ms. Dugdale, whose family owned a large share of the insurance company Lloyd’s of London, captivated the British and Irish news media with her exploits. Her story — like that of Patricia Hearst, another heiress-turned-revolutionary who was making news in the United States around the same time — fed a narrative about glamorous, radical youth run amok in the post-’60s era:

Ms. Dugdale rejected her inheritance and liquidated her trust fund to support a variety of social and political causes. She and an accomplice were arrested in 1973 for stealing thousands of dollars in art and silverware from her parents’ home, with plans to sell it and give the proceeds to the Irish Republican Army.
