Podcast appearances and mentions of Billy Joel

Live With Danny Kortchmar - Don Henley, James Taylor, Jackson Browne, Carole King, Linda Ronstadt Kootch tells the story of how his and Don Henley's monster hit, Dirty Laundry was born, how his and Jackson Browne's, Somebody's Baby was birthed, and how Running On Empty was recorded Live. This legendary guitar hero, songwriter, and producer, who's been integral to more hits with more iconic artists than just about anyone I can think of, shared about all of them… James (or Jamie as he calls him), Taylor, Carole King, Linda Ronstadt, the aforementioned Don Henley, and Jackson Browne. Kootch talked about his first producing gig - Louise Goffin, and the killer band he put together for her, which included Steve Lukather and Kenny Aaronoff, saying he learned from observing Peter Asher, who produced so many of the albums Kootch played on. He talked about producing Jon Bon Jovi, Toto, and Billy Joel, and the controversy that surrounded that gig. We got a few of his favorite memories through the years, and his shattering heartbreak, losing Lisa Roy, the love of his life, the sad for fans, and the boys themselves, seeming end of his dream band, The Immediate Family, both leading to his leaving LA and relocating to Rhode Island to be near his blood family. We got the hows and whys with little hope of resurrection. We also got his newfound joy playing with his new band, The Back Burners, whom I can't wait to hear. The band features frontman Rocco DeRosa, Marty Ballou on bass, Vinny Pagano on drums, and Joel Latulippe on harmonica. A departure for Danny, it's groove-driven soul and blues. Playing small clubs in the thriving local music scene and preparing to record, Kootch is feeling at home with his new band and his new digs. I've been blessed to know Kootch for some years. Thanks to Steve Postell, Danny played at my book launch for Don't Jump almost a decade ago. He was a pretty serious man of few words for most of the time I knew him. Thanks to Lisa and the bliss of banding with Leland Sklar, Russ Kunkle, his fellow mates of The Section, 50 or so years in the playing, and Waddy Wachtel, whom he's gigged with for almost as long, as well as Steve Postell, with whom he's done innumerable projects in more recent years, and appearing in the Denny Tedesco award-winning documentary about them, Kootch was lighter, brighter, and happier than I'd seen him. I hope this move eases recent losses and brings creative and personal fulfillment. I also hold hope that we'll see Kootch, Lee, Russ, Waddy, and Steve reunited, someday in some way. Danny, thanks for your enormous contribution to the soundtrack of my youth. Danny Kortchmar Live on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson Wed, February 18th, 5 pm PT, 8 pm ET Streamed Live on my FB, YouTube & LinkedIn

Jason Chapin is the son of Harry Chapin, one of the greatest recording artists of the 1970's with two of the biggest and most memorable hits of all time: Taxi and 1974's monumental hit Cat's in the Cradle.  Harry Chapin tragically died in 1981 in an auto accident in Long Island, NY. On the 50th anniversary of Cat's in the Cradle's hitting the charts as #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the week of December 21, 1974, Jason co-produced an award-winning documentary, Harry Chapin - Cat's In the Cradle: The Song that Changed Our Lives.  Included in the film are musical giants like Billy Joel, Judy Collins, Pat Benatar, Dee Snider, Mandy Patinkin & others who weigh in on Harry's legacy. These iconic lyrics from the chorus are among the most famous from any song in history: And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon Little Boy Blue and the man in the moon "When you comin' home, dad?" "I don't know when, but we'll get together then You know we'll have a good time then." We discuss: -Why now with a documentary in the 50th anniversary of the song. -Who was the child that arrived? -How did Harry steal the song from his wife? -What do you suppose your mom Sandy Chapin meant by “We don't know life's lessons until too late?” - Which part of the 60% in Taxi that is true is actually true? -Judy Colins - "Harry had lyrically the human touch. Genius of putting scenes together that happened in real life." -Billy Joel - "It was all about humanity.  Not politics, but what it's like to be a human & the foibles & failure & struggles."

Alexa Ray Joel, the daughter of legendary singer/songwriter Billy Joel and supermodel/actress Christie Brinkley, talks about her own experiences as a songwriter and performer who draws from a deep well of personal experiences. PART ONEPaul and Scott talk about...(gasp!) NEW music! PART TWOOur in-depth conversation with Alexa Ray JoelABOUT ALEXA RAY JOELSinger, songwriter, and pianist Alexa Ray Joel released her debut EP Sketches in 2006 and has since released a series of singles, including the most recent, “Heavy Eyes.” The daughter of legendary singer-songwriter Billy Joel and supermodel and actress Christie Brinkley, Alexa Ray began writing songs as a teenager. Her performances at Café Carlyle have showcased her eclectic repertoire, including original songs, Broadway numbers, and nods to her father and Ray Charles, for whom she was named. The New York Times praised her as a “singer confidently following her heart.” She has been a part of The Gap's “Back to Blue” television ad campaign, and has ventured into the fashion world, appearing on magazine covers and participating in fashion weeks. She sang alongside her father in the final year of his Madison Square Garden residency in 2024 and says her favorite Billy Joel song is “Lullaby (Goodnight, My Angel),” which he wrote for her. Alexa Ray's “Heavy Eyes” follows on the heels of “Riverside Way,” which illustrates the sonic diversity of her music and is leading up to the release of a 5 song EP later this year.

"This is the best book about how it used to be," writes the influential music critic and record industry analysts Bob Lefsetz, in praise of Paul Rappaport's wild ride of a memoir, Gliders Over Hollywood: Airships, Airplay and the Art of Rock Promotion. "[It's] the only book I can remember that truly details what it was like inside the star factory." After a career spanning more than three decades in rock promotion at Columbia Records, "Rap" knows as much as anyone what it takes to launch a new act, pump up a new record, or beat the drums on behalf of a world tour. Before capping his career at the label as a senior vice president, he had played a pivotal role in shaping and re-shaping the careers of some of the biggest stars in the business, including artists such as Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, Elvis Costello, and the Boomtown Rats. "I'm a storyteller," he explains, of the many ways he tried to frame the stories of the musicians on his roster. "We were making it up as we went along, and the characters were everywhere—not just the artists, but the behind-the-scenes people, the managers. No one had captured anything… I started thinking if I don't write this down now, I don't know how long I'll have these memories. But I have them now, so that's why a book, and why now." Upon leaving Columbia, Rap formed his own production company, Tres Hombres, and for many years wrote the "Backstage Access" block for Classics du Jour. He was the lead guitarist in the pioneering Los Angeles punk band Mogan David & His Winos. Join us for a frenzied and free-wheeling look back at the glory days of rock 'n roll, as Rap reflects on the writing of his first book, and a culture-stamping career that gifted him the chance to eat latkes with Lou Reed, receive a backstage guitar lesson from Keith Richards, talk Bob Dylan down from writer's block, and trade licks onstage with David Gilmour in a once-in-a-lifetime turn as a featured guest of Pink Floyd.

What does American football reveal about who we are and who we're becoming? Watch the video of this episode on YouTube here. Russell Moore talks with cultural critic and essayist Chuck Klosterman about his new book Football and what the sport tells us about masculinity, community, memory, violence, and belief. From Roman gladiator games to Super Bowl halftime shows, and from church attendance to television economics, Klosterman argues that football is more than entertainment: it's one of the last truly shared experiences in American life—and one that may not survive the century. Even for listeners who don't care about football at all, this conversation is about the deeper question beneath the spectacle: what happens when a culture's rituals outlast its imagination? Moore and Klosterman discuss football as a made-for-television phenomenon, the way fandom shapes identity and irrationality, and how football functions as an unofficial secular holiday—one that churches once resisted, then accommodated, and eventually surrendered to. Along the way, they examine agency, violence, masculinity, and why moral critiques of football provoke more outrage than theological disagreements ever could. The conversation widens to include politics, class, religion, and even Billy Joel—ending with the question: when future generations judge our era by one piece of football culture, what will they see?

Hey, it's the first episode of the Planet LP Podcast for 2026! Host Ted Asregadoo kicks off the new year by looking back at the memorable music-related experiences from 2025 with special guest Jeff Giles, co-host of The Record Player Podcast and author of Jefitoblog. While best-of lists may feel less relevant in today's era of personalized music consumption, Ted and Jeff take a different approach—reflecting on the moments, albums, books, concerts, and documentaries that made 2025 memorable for them personally. Jeff shares an update on his work-in-progress novel, "Largo's Dream," inspired by the 1998 album, Largo, produced by Rick Chertoff and Rob Hyman, which drew inspiration from Dvořák's New World Symphony. Ted dives into his reading highlights, particularly Eric M. Shade's "It's All Over the Place: The Rise of the Bangles from the LA Underground," a detailed chronicle that gave him newfound respect for the band's musicianship and their struggles navigating the music industry's challenges. The guys also talk about that nine-part documentary about The Beatles on Disney+ -- which gets mixed reviews, but was still memorable. The episode also covers Ted's impressive concert year, including the all-day Cruel World festival in Pasadena featuring Midge Ure, a 'Til Tuesday reunion, DEVO, The Go-Go's, She Wants Revenge, Garbage, New Order, and a standout performance from Nation of Language. Ted also recounts seeing Wolf Alice at the Fox Theater in Oakland—a show that turned him into an even bigger fan—and experiencing Belly perform their album "King" in its entirety at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco. Plus, he shares his thoughts on the prolific and experimental Steven Wilson, whom he saw live at The Masonic Theater in San Francisco. Jeff reflects on Ted's dedication to Rush, noting the $300+ tickets Ted purchased to see them in LA and San Jose—a level of commitment that Jeff admits he can't match, even for his own favorites, such as The Doobie Brothers and Billy Joel. Join Ted and Jeff for an engaging conversation about what made 2025 a memorable year for them. Maybe it'll get you to reflect on your own music experiences, too.

Why does a name like 'Starkweather' still ring out in a pop song thirty years later? Today, we're unpacking one of the darkest references in Billy Joel's We Didn't Start the Fire. Join us as we trace how a real-life homicide spree in 1958 became a permanent fixture in American pop culture, inspiring everything from Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska to films like Badlands and Natural Born Killers. We discuss why Billy Joel chose this specific event to represent the chaos of the fifties and how Starkweather's 'James Dean' persona created a terrifying new archetype of the American rebel. Send us a text

Send in your music story!A wedding request to Scott Blasey, a brand-new video spinoff we're slightly scared to make, and a lyric game that derails into glorious chaos—this one moves fast and hits a lot. We kick off by revisiting last week's interview, then clip an on-air invite to the Clarks frontman to perform at a future wedding. From there we pivot into real talk about editing choices, how small cuts can smooth a show, and why honesty on the mic matters more than polish.Our music news run is stacked: Fetty Wap's release, BTS returning from military service with a world tour, Slipknot teasing new material, and Hillary Duff's latest single with a side of mom-scene drama. The big legacy story lands hard—John Fogerty reclaiming the CCR songbook and celebrating it with an NPR Tiny Desk performance—opening a wider conversation about artist rights, masters, and what it means to finally own the songs that define you. Along the way, we weave in pop culture and everyday life: a car speaker sacrificed to Billy Joel at max volume, a misdiagnosed turbo that turns out to be a cracked line, and a quitting story punctuated by free celebration donuts.Then we crank up a reimagined lyric challenge, trading “finish the lyric” for smarter prompts that spark memory and laughter. Journey's train, Miley's hands in the air, Queen's silhouettes, and Creed's six feet from the edge all make an appearance, serving up nostalgia with a wink. We even wander into a spirited Helen Keller debate that says more about how stories spread than the story itself. To cap it off, we share community-first merch—DJ ABC tees priced to move—and tease Off The Record, our video-only experiment that feels equal parts exciting and reckless.Hit play for music news, banter, and a game you'll want to steal for your next hangout.

In 1957, the heart of the baseball world was centered firmly in New York City. By 1958, that heart had been ripped out and transplanted 3,000 miles away.In this episode, we break down the meaning behind the two-word lyric from Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire." We dive into the high-stakes drama of the late 1950s that saw two of the most storied franchises in sports history—the Brooklyn Dodgers and the New York Giants—abandon the East Coast for Los Angeles and San Francisco.What we cover in this episode:The Power Move: Why Walter O'Malley (Dodgers) and Horace Stoneham (Giants) decided the "Golden Age" of New York baseball wasn't enough to keep them there.The Suburban Shift: How the rise of the automobile and the decline of aging stadiums like Ebbets Field made the West Coast's "open space" irresistible.A National Game: How this move signaled the end of New York's cultural monopoly and paved the way for the modern era of professional sports.The Lyrics Context: Why Billy Joel placed this event right between "Little Rock" and "Mickey Mantle" to illustrate the rapidly changing face of 1950s Americana.Whether you're a baseball fanatic or a history buff trying to decode the song, join us as we explore the year the "Boys of Summer" headed for the Pacific.Send us a text

There's something about Mary Houlihan (comedian/painter) and musician Daniel Lopatin (aka Oneohtrix Point Never, Marty Supreme original score). And that something is that they were both wonderful guests! We laughed, we watched some weird stuff from Mar-a-Lago, we had some synth talk, some Pink Floyd, Billy Joel & Elton John talk, and we heard a poem from Jimmy Stewart.Support Office Hours, watch or listen to another hour of today's episode with Doug's new sounds for electric cars, Vic's "Bad Endings" compilation and tons more every week with OFFICE HOURS+ - get a FREE seven-day trial at patreon.com/officehourslive.Shop our new merch items now at officehours.merchtable.comWatch the latest season of On Cinema at the Cinema and get tickets to The Certified Five Bags of Popcorn tour before it sells out at heinetwork.tvFollow Office Hours Live at instagram.com/officialofficehours tiktok.com/@officehourslive & youtube.com/officehourslive Find everything else officialofficehours.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

 In this episode, we had the unique opportunity to chat with musician/ author Dennes Sims about his recently released novel, “Neckbeard the Awesome Pirate.” We also chat about how being a musician transitioned him into being an author, a voice artist, and a composer for audiobooks.    Both of Dennes's parents were professional musicians; his mother Barbara was a singer, and his father was a bassist and a drummer.    From the age of 5, he started playing drums. His mother used to take him along to her band rehearsals, and she always told the story that one day Dennes just picked up a set of drumsticks and was keeping perfect time with the drummer.     At 19, he started writing songs and was frustrated that he had no way to express them, so he bought a keyboard and taught himself how to play by ear, listening to Prince, Paul McCartney, Billy Joel, and others. He also started performing live with bands as a singer.    Over the years, he taught himself both guitar and bass guitar. Dennes says he tried the saxophone “but it sounded like a hit a goose with a scooter.”    While I was teaching himself to play other instruments, he began writing short stories and then screenplays.   Unfortunately, he says he never made any real inroads to making a career out of either. In 1998, he cut his long hair and got a real job, joining the FBI, and put aside his musical and writing ambitions. But he quietly kept doing them as hobbies over the years, recording all of his ownmusic.    In 2021, he was diagnosed with stage 4 throat cancer and underwent chemotherapy and radiation treatments for seven weeks. Amazingly, the doctors saved his life and his voice, but said he would probably not be a singer anymore.    God works in mysterious ways, they always say… because of the treatments, his voice timbre changed, and it gave him a wider range of expression. So, he started using it for a new purpose: narrating audiobooks.     Flash to 2025, now retired from the FBI, he has narrated three audiobooks for an author's trilogy of stories, and is currently recording the audiobook for his own debut novel, Neckbeard the Awesome Pirate.    Be sure to check Dennes out here:    Website: dennessims.com    He wrote music under two names: Julian Christian and Dennes Sims. He played all instruments and did all of the vocals.    Julian Christian - Nocturne (I wrote it as part of the scorefor an indie film that never got off the ground.) https://youtu.be/WLvJt4BOTVQ?si=3EAhammWyCxOAJD2  Julian Christian music on Soundclick- some of my original songs. https://www.soundclick.com/julianchristian  Dennes Sims music on YouTube- Symphony of the Damned (was also written for an indie vampire film project… was supposed to be used for dance club music in the background. Also never materialized.) https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_l_gcBhXtw0AauQTB9UHVvktN7lzTJiZzU&si=_x5eCjtF9g3rdEgH  DMS Voice Services YouTube channel: I narrated and produced three audiobooks for another author and created the Musical Compositions for the title tracks. https://youtube.com/@dennessims?si=EddWUE0mc9CTcksd 

The list continues, and today we're stopping at the man who essentially willed the French Resistance into existence. In this episode, we break down the name Charles de Gaulle—a figure so central to the 20th century that Billy Joel couldn't possibly leave him out of the first verse.We're diving into the history behind the lyric, starting with de Gaulle's refusal to surrender to the Nazis and his complicated relationship with the "Big Three" (Stalin, Roosevelt, and Churchill), who often found him more of a headache than a hero. We'll discuss:Why he's in this specific spot in the song: Mapping his 1940s exile to his 1950s political comeback.The "Difficult" Ally: Why FDR famously didn't trust him, and how de Gaulle used that friction to assert French sovereignty.The Legacy: How the man in the lyric eventually became the architect of modern France.Whether you're a history buff or just trying to finally memorize all the words to the song, join us as we explain why the General earned his permanent spot in the fire.In the context of the song's chronology, de Gaulle is positioned right after Lebanon (which gained independence from French mandate in 1943) and before California Baseball (referring to the Dodgers and Giants moving West in 1958). This highlights de Gaulle's long-term relevance—he was a major player when the song starts and was still a titan when the "fire" reached the late 50s.Send us a text

We give the new AriZZona Rizzler-flavored fruit drink a try. Rivers shares the story of the cartoonishly-evil 19th century San Francisco industrialist, Charles Crocker, and his 40-foot high "spite fence".

The news just keeps getting better No, there's not any sarcasm behind that statement. And yes, taken at face value when juxtaposed to many of the headlines out there coming out the weekend.

Art joins Robbie in the studio for the first podcast recorded in 2026! Hopeful news starts our Geeks of the Week: Evangeline Lilly announces plans for improvement following a fall that left her with brain damage. Billy Joel appeared with a tribute band in Florida after his brain disorder caused him to cancel shows. Wishing both continued healing. Robbie shared that the Hulu app would soon be integrated into the Disney app. Is this a harbinger of things to come with other mega apps? After the break, the guys discuss the upcoming slate of Marvel projects, various movies and shows that lead up to Doomsday, a film that should be the biggest Marvel event since Endgame. Familiar faces are back, and it could be a tough time for Dune 3, which launches the same day, unless fans make it a Dunesday double feature

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITSome stories land like a punch; others feel like a hand on your shoulder. We start with Minnesota's headline-grabbing shooting involving a DHS officer and a protester and break down the uneasy balance between lawful protest, public order, and necessary force. Instead of shouting past each other, we admit the gray areas: how often can officers yield ground, what counts as escalation, and why media tone shapes whether we learn anything at all.From there, we explore trust in conservative media and why many listeners are exhausted by personalities who mistake volume for value. We spotlight Dennis Michael Lynch as a thoughtful alternative: documentary roots, clear reporting, and an eye for the “meat and potatoes” of policy and border security. If you crave substance over spectacle, this is a practical way to recalibrate your news diet without giving up on core issues or tough conversations.Then the energy lifts with a rare feel-good note: Billy Joel's surprise return to the stage after a diagnosis of normal pressure hydrocephalus. Cane or not, the Piano Man still moves a crowd, and that resilience reminds us why great songwriting outlasts the news cycle. We share a personal concert memory, because sometimes joy and nostalgia are the most honest metrics we have for what matters.We wrap with Julia Roberts' revealing reflection on nearly passing up Notting Hill—proof that scripts can sound ridiculous before they become classics. That candid moment opens a fun debate about favorite Roberts roles and why certain films stick. Your turn: what's your pick, and what does it say about the type of stories you love?If this mix of clear-eyed news, smarter media picks, and a dose of cultural joy resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review.

After watching the recent HBO documentary series on the life of Billy Joel, Shane decided to reopen his investigation of the bar that inspired Piano Man. The question he posed on the pilot episode was whether his dad had visited the famous bar back in 1973, and whether he might even be one of the characters mentioned in the song. If you're new to the program, the first part of this episode features Shane's original exploration, along with selections from a variety of additional interviews he recorded since that time. The final segment features a brand new segment featuring his conversations with people involved in the recent HBO documentary.SHOW NOTESRelated EpisodesNew Evidence for The Executive Room, with John Gibson #55Evidential Reasoning, #56 with Craig PartonDealing with Discrepancies, #57 with J.

Alex Lacamoire is back for round two and I hope you're ready because not only does he put that keyboard to very good use, but Alex was also kind enough to bring isolated stems from the Hamilton cast album. Yep, I know, it's insane. Not only does he play some of his favorite parts (the Stevie Wonder moment in One Last Time and the Eleanor Rigby part of the opening number, for example) but Alex gives us a tour around the orchestra, one instrument at a time: strings from Burn, percussion from Guns and Ships, guitar in Helpless, stride piano in The Room Where It Happens, the list goes on and on and onnnnn.  Plus! We talk Billy Joel, Chopin, Steven Sondheim, Taylor Swift's The Life of a Showgirl, the connection between The Beatles and Sisqó, and Alex shares fantastic stories from his experience working on Sweeney Todd. This is such a deep dive and I promise that you'll love every second of it! Seriously, this barely scratches the surface of Lac's generosity. What'd I tell you? The vibes. are.
