Podcast appearances and mentions of Billy Joel

Matthew, Mario, Micah, and Mike Pastor Mark Havel Matthew 9:9-13, 18-26As Jesus was walking along, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax booth; and he said to him, ‘Follow me.' And he got up and followed him.And as he sat at dinner in the house, many tax-collectors and sinners came and were sitting with him and his disciples. When the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, ‘Why does your teacher eat with tax-collectors and sinners?' But when he heard this, he said, ‘Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. Go and learn what this means, “I desire mercy, not sacrifice.” For I have come to call not the righteous but sinners.'While he was saying these things to them, suddenly a leader of the synagogue came in and knelt before him, saying, ‘My daughter has just died; but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.' And Jesus got up and followed him, with his disciples. Then suddenly a woman who had been suffering from hemorrhages for twelve years came up behind him and touched the fringe of his cloak, for she said to herself, ‘If I only touch his cloak, I will be made well.' Jesus turned, and seeing her he said, ‘Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well.' And instantly the woman was made well.When Jesus came to the leader's house and saw the flute-players and the crowd making a commotion, he said, ‘Go away; for the girl is not dead but sleeping.' And they laughed at him. But when the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took her by the hand, and the girl got up. And the report of this spread throughout that district. These days after Pentecost are a long season in the church calendar. They are meant to be a time for us – after the arrival of the Holy Spirit, at Pentecost, which we talked about a couple of weeks ago – to focus on a season of growth and discipleship as God's people in the Church. A lot of Christians call it “Ordinary Time,” which couldn't sound like more of a snore. So it takes some work to see that what Jesus was up to – and what we're called to be about, still – is anything but “ordinary” for people in our day and age, who want to be more like Jesus.See, all along – even before the Holy Spirit showed up like it did at Pentecost – Jesus is just trying to love people … and trying to show people how to love people, too. He's milling around Galilee collecting followers. Building friendships. Growing relationships. Getting invited to dinner and sharing time with the cool people – and by “cool people,” I mean the tax collectors and sinners.Because I think Jesus, like Billy Joel, would “rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints … because the sinners are much more fun!”Jesus just sang it differently: “I have come to call, not the righteous, but sinners.”And it's fair to assume Matthew, who Jesus found at the tax both, measured up to the all the sinful stereotypes of a First Century Jewish tax-collector, otherwise there wouldn't be much to this story. See, the reason it was surprising, if not scandalous, for Jesus to be having dinner at Matthew's house, remember, is that Jewish tax-collectors were known to have made nice with the powers of Rome. That means Matthew would have been in charge of exacting taxes from his fellow Jews – his friends, family, and neighbors, at his discretion – to line the pockets of the occupying, oppressive Roman Empire. And tax collectors, like Matthew, were known for lining their own pockets – unfairly – along the way, too.So, imagine Jesus breaking bread with some of the richest, most corrupt people you can imagine, in our day and age. Imagine your least favorite politician. Imagine your least favorite billionaire. And just to bring it a little closer to home, imagine your least favorite boss, co-worker, teacher, coach, neighbor, ex. And now that we've each created our very own personal guest list from Hell, imagine Jesus at the head of the table … pull up a chair … and pass the mashed potatoes, please.This is why what's happened this past week in our own backyard – with the words, tweets, posts, and podcasts from certain politicians – in the name of Jesus Christ – is so maddening.I'm talking about the invitation to hate muslims, by our Lieutenant Governor, of course.And, since it's PRIDE month, I've really been struck by all of the nonsense from other powerful people who feel the need to steal the thunder from the LGBTQ+ community by declaring June “Nuclear Family Month,” instead, as some sort of middle finger to the celebration of “PRIDE.” It is the opposite of what Jesus would do – “reclaiming the rainbow,” as they say – in a petty, selfish, self-centered, close-minded, hateful, exclusionary, version of what they call “Christianity,” but which is anything but “Christ-like.”You might say, these people are sick and in need of a physician. Or a lobotomy. Or a spiritual heart-transplant. Or maybe (more kindly, Pastor Mark) they're in need of a meal, shared around a table with the very people – the children of God – they are judging, hating, afraid of, or pretending they want to – or could – save, as if that was their job – which it is not.[And let me be clear. I'm not equating the LGBTQ community with the tax collectors and sinners – or suggesting their sexuality makes them somehow sinful. I'm equating the judgment of them by the powers that be as having no more sway over Jesus' capacity to love all people, regardless of who the world says he should or should not love.]My apologies to those of you who've heard this story before. I've talked about it in our book studies of Colby Martin's UNCLOBBER, but never in the context of a sermon, surprisingly. But it came to mind in light of all that Jesus is up to this morning.When I was in elementary school, back in the 80's, my family traveled to New Orleans to see the culmination of my grandmother's latest hobby – the grand finale showcase of her time at something like an Arthur Murray Dance Studio. It sounds terribly cheesy. And maybe it was, but I doubt it. My grandmother was a pretty classy lady.And, to my childish sensibilities, it was a classy affair. It took place in a hotel ballroom downtown. We had to wear shirts and ties, hard pants and uncomfortable shoes. As part of it all, my grandmother hosted a gathering with several of her new friends – the dancers, instructors, and whatnot – at her home, for drinks and hors d'oeuvres. And that's where I met Mario, my grandma's much younger dance partner. I think he was – to my grandmother – like the professional dancers they pair with the B-list celebrities on “Dancing with the Stars.”Mario was also a Black gay man. Going by stereotype alone, it was as obvious that Mario was gay as it was that he was Black, even to my elementary-aged eyes … he had a longish jheri curl hairdo and long, polished finger nails, too, which he waved flamboyantly and without shame as he walked, talked, and danced.And this was the 1980's remember. And there was this thing called the AIDS epidemic running rampant in the gay community. And even my elementary-aged eyes and ears had told me to be very afraid of gay people – and to stay away from them – if I didn't want to get sick… or die… or probably, “catch the homosexuality.” And this guy, Mario, was in my grandmother's house. And they had danced together. And we were eating from the same buffet table. And I shook his hand when we were introduced.And I was afraid. And mad, I think. And worried about my grandmother, too.But bear with me, because what I learned, thanks to that party and around that buffet table, was as powerful as anything I'd learned around the altar of Holy Communion up to that point in my life. And it has something to do with what Jesus meant when he said he desires mercy not sacrifice.See, sacrifice was the way of worship for believers before Jesus, remember … bring a goat or a lamb, bring some incense or two turtledoves, bring a partridge in a pear tree to the house of God, set them afire as an expression of your love and repentance, and your way was made … your sins were forgiven … your prayers were lifted … your devotion, awe, and worship were offered up to the Almighty. And that was that.But Jesus, like the prophets before him changed the game. Like Amos who despised the self-righteous songs of the people and had no regard for their fake fellowship… like Isaiah who hated and was burdened by the phony festivals of the people… like Jeremiah, who found burnt offerings unacceptable… like Hosea this morning… Jesus wanted to see, to feel, to inspire among God's people mercy, compassion, love, and forgiveness – over and above all the rest.And I'm convinced that you can't scare or shame or preach or punish people into any of those things. But you can model mercy. You can practice compassion. You can offer forgiveness. You can be generous. You can love one another.And Jesus does that today, not from behind a TV screen or a computer keyboard or a pulpit, even. Jesus does that up close and personally – at Matthew's dinner table … and so near to that hemorrhaging woman she could touch him … and in the home, at the bedside, of that little girl, too.And what I think is most telling and beautiful about what Jesus was able to do for the people he met, is what he did when he healed that hemorrhaging woman. We're told, very deliberately, that Jesus sees her. And I imagine, he sees more than just what she was wearing – her red hat or her rainbow bracelet, her jheri curl or her long fingernails, let's say. I imagine he could see what twelve years of sickness and shame do to a person. I imagine he could see how exhausted and afraid she must have been. I imagine he could see how desperate and lonely she felt. I imagine he could see that she had no other option but to put her faith into someone so unbelievable and something so utterly new, for a change.We can't begin to show mercy, compassion, or forgiveness … we can't begin to love one another … until we take the time to see, to listen to, to understand the wants, needs, fears, longings, lives, and loves of others in this world – especially those who are so very different from us.I didn't learn anything about Mario that night at my grandmother's when I was a boy – acting like some kind of 5th grade Pharisee. But I've learned about him since – because I've learned to see, listen to, learn from, and love the friends I know who are like him in so many ways.It's why I pray this communion table, our worship, and the ministry we share will look more and more like where we find Jesus this morning: that we'll make room for more Matthews, more Marios, and more sinners of all stripes – and that we'll acknowledge that that includes each and every one of us, too, every day of the week. And I pray we'll work hard to see one another – really see each other and ourselves – the way God sees us all: with a wide mercy, with an abiding love, with a steadfast grace – no strings attached – that can change us, change others, and change the world our God so loves.Amen

The Stranger es el quinto álbum de estudio de Billy Joel, lanzado en octubre de 1977.

Siendo el álbum no compilatorio más vendido hasta la fecha de Billy Joel, con más de 10 millones de copias, y formando parte de la lista de los 20 álbumes más vendidos en los años 1970.Gran parte del éxito del álbum se atribuye a la colaboración de Billy Joel con el productor Phil Ramone, cuyos métodos de producción innovadores complementaron las canciones de Billy Joel. Está colaboración fructuosa continuaría durante una década.

Greg remembers Sonny Rollins, who passed this week at the age of 95. The “Saxophone Colossus” transformed modern jazz by pioneering thematic improvisation, using his robust, full-bodied tone to stretch the boundaries of hard bop and avant-garde styles.Songs:Sonny Rollins - “Strode Road”Bill Evans - “Oleo”Miles Davis/John Coltrane - “Oleo”Wes Montgomery - “Airegin”Sonny Rollins - “St. Thomas”Jay gives us a musical interlude by way of a Three for Thursday. When traveling in L.A., he got an old Tom Tom Club track stuck in his head, and revisited some Kurt Vile. Last weekend, Sleepers made it's Baltimore debut at SOWEBO and we listen to some audio from the show (featuring EJ Maynard).Songs:Tom Tom Club - “Genius of Love”Kurt Vile - “Loading Zones”Sleepers - “TV Town”Nick closes us out with a light News with Nick. Jack Osbourne defends AI Ozzy, Chrome Hearts drops their lawsuit with Neil Young, and Billy Joel does not want you to see Billy & Me.

We're on Patreon! Find us at https://www.patreon.com/AudioUnleashed This week, Brent and Dennis kick things off by considering whether lack of cred is as big a problem with audio critics as it is for music critics, and debate whether or not Billy Joel is one of our greatest songwriters, even though both of them would happily pay to never hear “Uptown Girl” again. Then they dig deep into the latest retro revival sweeping through the speaker industry: field coils. Are electromagnets better for inner detail than permanent magnets? What do they do to microdynamics? We report; you decide. And wrapping up the conversation for most listeners, they riff on the announcements of two radically different personal audio products: a $7500 “quad-brid” IEM from Campfire and an adorable little headphone amp and DAC from Fosi.

"Just because the path of motherhood might not happen for me, it doesn't mean the nurturing goes away. I still want a seat at the table for how kids are raised." — Danielle Frank About This Episode Danielle Frank traded Hollywood red carpets for red wine — and now she's poured both passions into her debut book. After launching her career in entertainment publicity at Miramax International, where she worked on global film campaigns and rubbed elbows with A-listers at Cannes, Venice, and Berlin, Danielle pivoted into the luxury wine and spirits industry, spending 22+ years at Bacardi and Moët Hennessy. Her book, A Wine Lover's Guide to Parenting: The Fine Art of Wine & Whine Management, is a satirical, adults-only survival guide written in rhyme that blends wine terminology with parenting wisdom. Despite not being a parent herself, Danielle — a self-described "auntie extraordinaire" — brings a sharp, loving outsider's perspective to the comedy of raising kids. Mike and Danielle talk career pivots, the storytelling parallels between film and wine, game show obsessions, Billy Joel, and why you should never let your kid ferment. Key Takeaways 1. It's all storytelling. Whether selling a film at Cannes or a bottle of wine at dinner, Danielle sees the through-line: you're creating a narrative that evokes feeling. That insight carried her from Miramax to Moët Hennessy. 2. You don't have to be a parent to care about parenting. Danielle wrote the book as a proud aunt and keen observer. Her "outsider with a front-row seat" perspective gives the humor its edge — she witnesses the triumphs and tantrums, glass in hand, no carpool duty required. 3. The book sat in a drawer for 14 years. Danielle wrote it over a decade ago but only published it last year. Her motivation: "If I go on my deathbed and I've done nothing with it, it's going to plague me." 4. Wine doesn't have to be intimidating. Every chapter uses real wine terminology — fermentation, varietal, mulled wine — and gives the definition in a fun, accessible way. It's wine education wrapped in comedy. 5. Don't let your kid ferment. Fermentation turns sugar into alcohol — something sweet into something harsh. The parallel to raising kids with manners writes itself, and Danielle's rhyming chapter on the topic is a showstopper. 6. Don't leave anything on the table. Danielle's life advice: you have one life to live, so go after things. She quit a toxic PR job without a backup plan, pivoted industries, and finally published the book she'd been sitting on — all by trusting the leap.

My friends, Jeff McLean (same-sex marriage, nationally known performer, vocal coach, author), Michael McLean (famous LDS songwriter, composer, playwright) and Jeff's friend Dr. Brad Reedy (Co-Founder and Chief Clinical Officer) join us to talk about their new book: “Stay in the Room: How a Gay Son and A Mormon Father Found Themselves and Each Other” In the podcast, they talk about how “Stay in the Room” tells the true story of a boy raised in Heber City, Utah, in the shadow of Mormonism and the rising AIDS crisis of the 1980s. The son of Michael McLean-Mormonism's answer to Billy Joel, Jeff sang his father's songs on stages nationwide. But behind the curtain, he struggled to reconcile his faith with his identity. After serving a Mormon mission, entering a brief marriage to his husband, and battling an addiction to crystal meth, Jeff finally found solid ground-and the courage to come home. But before healing could begin, he had to confront the two people he feared had lost him for good: his parents. Told through three voices, “Stay in the Room” is a moving, multi-perspective memoir. Jeff shares how he discovered a life where he could be fully himself and still feel the love of God. Michael recounts how the Spirit led him to stay present through his son's pain, refusing to let go. And therapist Dr. Brad Reedy offers powerful insight for families navigating the tension between faith, identity, and unconditional love. This is one of the best episodes we've ever recorded.. Please listen and share this episode and buy their book. Great insights on how to love and support people we love in our lives. Thank you Jeff, Michael, and Brad for being on the podcast.

Listen Now to 010 WTFuture - Lucid Dreaming Watch 010 WTFuture - Lucid Dreaming In this interview, researcher and author Craig Sim Webb discusses the profound utility of lucid dreaming and its role in human creativity. He shares his experiences working with Stanford dream projects and designing the Nova Dreamer, a technological tool used to help people achieve consciousness while asleep. Webb highlights how famous musicians like Paul McCartney and Billy Joel have used dreams to compose legendary songs, suggesting that sleep provides access to a collective unconscious similar to a biological internet. The conversation also explores lucid living, where individuals apply insights from their dreams to solve real-world problems and navigate personal challenges. By practicing reality checks and maintaining dream journals, Webb argues that anyone can harness their inner visions to improve intuition and inspire artistic breakthroughs. He concludes by illustrating how synchronicities—such as a dream about his father leading to an award-winning film—demonstrate the powerful connection between our sleeping and waking lives.

We're breaking down: The Blasphemous Coup: Homelander officially trades corporate PR for a literal divinity complex. From Daveed Diggs’ wild, far-right “Messiah” musical number to a shocking, skull-crushing Oval Office execution that leaves Ashley as a completely fractured puppet POTUS, the stakes have officially gone cosmic. The Gen V Disappointment: Marie Moreau and Jordan Li finally return, but a dejected, cynical Starlight isn’t having it. We break down that brutal reality check and Marie throwing Annie’s own words right back in her face. The Billy Joel Defense: Deep-diving into the psychological trap sprung by the new psychic Supe, Synapse. Find out how Butcher uses his top 10 Billy Joel songs to fight off a mental invasion and a haunting confrontation with the ghost of Joe Kessler.

The Question of the Week: With the radioactive chamber failing to even tickle a V1-infused Homelander, and Frenchie officially gone, is there any physical way left to stop a god?

The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 1 (5.14)

Billy Joel has reportedly sold more than 160 million albums. He’s been nominated for 24 Grammy Awards (and won six of them), an Emmy, and a Tony Award (which he won). In the U.S., he’s had 33 top 40 singles and 11 top 10 albums. He’s simply one of the most popular recording artists in the history of music. But. Critics have never been terribly kind to him, and a lot of the general public hasn’t either. This hour, we look at the two-part, nearly five-hour HBO documentary Billy Joel: And So It Goes. And we look at Billy Joel more generally and at the love/hate relationship we all seem to have had with him and his music for more than 50 years now. GUESTS: Jen Allen: A pianist, composer, arranger, and educator; her new album is Possibilities Rebecca Castellani: Co-founder of Quiet Corner Communications and the director of marketing at Washington Montessori School Jack Hamilton: Slate’s pop critic and the author of Just Around Midnight: Rock and Roll and the Racial Imagination Gene Seymour: A “writer, professional spectator, pop-culture maven, and jazz geek,” and he now writes the That Gene Seymour Substack The Colin McEnroe Show is available as a podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, TuneIn, Listen Notes, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Dennis is joined by renowned British photographer Brian Aris to discuss his new book Celebrating George: Three Decades which showcases the many photographs Brian took of George Michael throughout his career. Brian talks about the first time he shot George, as part of Wham, at the end of a day that included earlier shoots with Billy Joel and Mick Jagger. He also talks about why George was one of his favorite subjects to shoot, the love he feels from the "George Michael Lovelies" who attend his book events and the intentionality that George brought to all his photo sessions. Other topics include: shooting the group photo at Band Aid, how Debbie Harry changed the trajectory of his career, where he likes to stand when he's shooting concert shots, the American rocker who defaced his favorite backdrop and his earliest memories of photography.

This week we talk Mars Attacks! - the most conclusive proof we have that Billy Joel is in fact, a Martian.  "Workin' too hard can give you a heart attACK ACK ACK ACK!!!!" #marsattacks #timburton #mutantfam

From near mutiny, to unsettled opinions: this helping of BONUS TRAX following SURFACE NOISE centers on a spirited debate of the greatest concert films of all time. From "Stop Making Sense" to "Woodstock", our panel of music fans attempt to properly rank the most important and entertaining concerts put to film. From legendary performances to iconic live recordings, we break down which concert films truly belong on the Mount Rushmore of music cinema. Sure to agitate, possibly motivate (to watch them), listen and discover if we did these rankings justice! To close the proceedings, a discussion centered around a recent New York Times piece about the "30 Greatest Living American Songwriters" and their snub of the pride of Long Island, William Joel.

We resurface an old Billy Joel video of him breaking down the lyrics of Piano Man, specifically the line about the real estate novelist.

Roughly a year ago, a team at The New York Times Magazine set about tackling a nearly impossible task: creating a list of the greatest living American songwriters. But how to take the tens of thousands of songwriters working in this country and narrow them down to a digestible list? The answer involved thousands of voting ballots, hundreds of music industry insiders and a series of closed-door meetings among a small group of music experts. The result, The Times's list of the 30 greatest living American songwriters, was published this week. Today, Michael Barbaro talks with Sasha Weiss, a deputy editor of The Times Magazine, who oversaw the project, as well as Joe Coscarelli and Jody Rosen, two members of the cadre of critics assigned with compiling the final list. They discuss the list-making process, what defines a great songwriter and why Billy Joel didn't make the final cut. We also hear from some of the songwriters featured on the list, including Taylor Swift, Nile Rodgers and the songwriting team of Brandy Clark, Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne.   On Today's Episode: Sasha Weiss is a deputy editor of The New York Times Magazine. Joe Coscarelli is a culture reporter for The Times. He is a co-host of “Popcast,” a producer of the “Song of the Week” video series and the author of “Rap Capital: An Atlanta Story.” Jody Rosen is a contributing writer for the magazine and the author of “Two Wheels Good: The History and Mystery of the Bicycle.”   Background Reading: The 30 Greatest Living American Songwriters Cast Your Vote for the Greatest Living American Songwriters   Photo credit: Stefan Ruiz for The New York Times Subscribe today at nytimes.com/podcasts or on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
