This month Billy Joel turned 75. In honor of this occasion I did a deep dive into The Piano Man's career and catalog. It felt like riding a motorcycle in the rain. uproxx.com/indie/the-best…

Patio Hall Of Fame Album

Steven Hyden C’mon Virginia, show me a sign.

Our interview with Steven Hyden runs around 68 mins, for sure one of our best episodes. Obviously we’re a podcast that is aimed at die hard Bruce Springsteen fans but we think this episode will appeal to anyone who has listened to music in the last 40 years, just like the book does.

Seems credible to me. I wonder if Craig Finn had an opinion.

PSA: Memorial Day weekend is the patio music Super Bowl. Pick tunes accordingly.

For Bob's birthday we did a lightning round assessment of various tributes and 'tributes' to the man in the form of song.

— 'American Pie'
— Lennon's 'God'
— Bowie's 'Song For Bob Dylan'
— 'Diamonds And Rust'
— 'Mr. Jones'
— Hootie's 'Only Wanna Be With You'
... and many more!

Happy 83rd birthday to my father Bob Dylan.

Hey if you like it when I do a very in-depth column in the form of a list on a legacy musical artist that covers that person’s entire discography I have one of those running tomorrow.
