This day in 1982... CDs

I find Billy Joel's oeuvre very boppy and happy making and anyone who makes boppy happy music has to be delightful, true insight.

I like his more reflecting songs (is that correct English) like James and of course Piano Man. My favourite being Goodnight Saigon about the Viet war.

The documentary about him ("And So It Goes") is quite interesting. It's pretty long, something like two 2-hour programmes when it was on TV a while back (though that includes ad breaks) but I skipped over a lot of the performance bits.

Billy Joel reminds me of that Mick Jagger quote, when he was asked what he thought of U2. His reply being, "I don't think of U2"

Anyhoo, l always thought the first CD was supposedly some classical piece loved by some record company exec?
