the song of the day is Movin' out by Billy Joel!! written as a critique of workin' class workers strivin' solely for the outward signs of success to distance themselves from their roots. Billy Joel once said of Anthony that he wasn't speakin' of a single person but rather "every Irish, Polish, and Italian kid tryin to make it in the U.S.". Originally written n released in the Autumn of 1977 n then pulled when Joel's other single started to climb the charts. It was then re-released in March of 1978!!

Hell Song

[inthesummerof69]

the early Beatles stuff is all “come home to me little girl you’re the one for me and I can’t imagine a life without you little girl we could be as happy as can be girl” and then somewhere around rubber soul they decided to make a new genre where they go “look at this weird little man. look at him. look at how quaint and odd he is. he is the mustard and marmalade man he lives in a shoe and eats apricot jam tiddly dee tiddly dum tiddly doo.” and they said “this is very good we will put at least one of these on each of our successive albums.”
