    @Gromnir: There's a hilarious video of Billy Joel losing his rag in Moscow. I wonder if you've seen it. Good songwriter, no question.

    Just to say,  this is still ... well, "genius" is far too generous a word, but comically and darkly relatable. I often put it on repeat for a day as a weird sort of reminder/motivator that for quite a while now, most of the time, the "internet" puts me in a worse mood than before, for a myriad of reasons.  Hubby kept remarking "You must have been on the 'net today" because apparently I'd always get extra cranky or misanthrope-y etc, haha.  I largely stay off the 'net now, except for occasional streaming-TV/YouTube short skit binges.  And this forum.  😛

    Anyway, the song is also simply catchy and carnival like or something and I like it.  Edit: should probably say there's some language.

    Still gaming with my 9900k/2080ti/32 ram. One day I suppose a game may inspire me to finally upgrade. Maybe.

    One of my all-time favourite musical pieces. Mathematical, haunting, beautiful, hell to play, at least on the drums, at least for me (starts with 17/16 with the hands on top of 4/4 on the bass drum).

    I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man

    Yes, it is as 'good' as the thumbnail would suggest. :p

    Some classical music for a change...

    Speaking of classical, this is as beautiful today as it was back when Wagner wrote it. I mean dang that's some finely written stuff. "Awesome" is a word used far too often, but this does fill me with awe.

    Amazing to think that the Yes of Fragile and Close to the Edge went and wrote Owner of a Lonely Heart. Which is a great song.

    I actually knew Jon from his collaborations with Vangelis before I heard Yes

    Edit: That was a decade and a half before the internet

    am feeling no need to apologize for enjoying 90125, big generator and talk.

    Back on the Chain Gang is one of my all-time favs. The guitar riffs are pure awesome!

    Was listening to my Best of the Pretenders CD just the other day. :)

    The video is also classic 1980s in the sense of what the heck does any of this have to do with what he's singing about.

    Surely there's nothing to apologize for. 90125 is mostly very good. Yes is a great band. Heck, even the first non-Jon album Drama is excellent. The synth sounds are a bit cheesy, but the songwriting is first rate.
