Comment: The Monday before this show aired, I didn't have any concept of wanted I wanted to do with it. That morning, I was listening to talk radio in NYC and they were talking about Billy Joel's return to Madison Square Garden. That very night would see Billy Joel's first in a series of once-a-month concerts he will stage there in the upcoming year. Honestly, (parden the pun) I've never been a huge Billy Joel fan. For one reason or another his music just hasn't been my thing. But for plenty of people, he is 'the' thing. It occurred to me that it might be fun to tap into the pre-concert energy of the show with fans waiting to go through the gates. I really didn't know what to expect. It was interesting to see how it unfolded. People came from the city, but they were also coming into Penn Station on the train from Long Island. It was touching to talk to the Islanders. Their reverence and loyalty to Billy Joel were plain to see. There were people from Jersey and NYC and Connectticut. Probably from everywhere, really, for all these years later, despite the comings and goings of musical fads and trends, the man still stands and he packs them in. Old Billy. The boxer. In the ring to take another swing. I knew that by the end of the experience, it would help me to better understand something and someone I've sometimes purposely walled-out. What the heck. I welcome him in now, and I hope you'll follow suit. CPNYCGHD14ILUTP99
A new set begins: An Interview with Steve outside Madison Square Garden
Comment: I won't notate each time a new song enters in the background. Most of the background music (not all) involved me digitally looping sections of some Billy Joel (I'm going to refer to him as BJ from here on out to save time) songs and looping them. This show I would have to say was 'DigiLog. A lot of cassette, microcassette, and laptop mixed together. Kind of time consuming, but it's fun to do.

Comment: Thanks for listening to this episode of The Dusty Show on WFMU. I hope you enjoyed it. I enjoyed talking to BJ's fans. A nice lot. Thanks for your enthusiasm! Just a couple of weeks until Marathon. I'm already nervous. It's been kind of a weird year. You? Well, here's hoping 2014 will be good. I think it will be. Until next time, take care, drop me an email (dusty@wfmu.org) and ... always remember .... Philip Seymour Hoffman
