100% did not know billy joel was like, a beloved musician instead of that guy who sang uptown girl, until i moved up north & somehow everyone here knows him
I grew up in a music-loving household (I was named after a Waylon Jennings song!) and I legitimately did not realize until I met a lot of people raised in the northern suburbs that Billy Joel was a genuine superstar and not a novelty act. I think bc my dad was a lifelong avowed Billy Joel hater?
Absolutely ICONIC that @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social went on Track Star and ... did not recognize Billy Joel. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmqL...

Recently I’ve been combing through newspapers from a hundred years ago, and in the spirit of the season (and in the spirit of procrastination) I’ve assembled a little gallery of Halloween advertisements from 1925 on my site: dansinker.com/posts/202…
