"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less."
"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."
"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master - that's all."

Right after that came the Fairlight sampler, which also got overused; Gabriel in particular built whole albums around it.
BTW happy 69th birthday Rod Stewart!One martini, two martini, three martini, floor.

I posted this in the draft forum, because I was absent at the time, but a quick comment on Billy Joel's Turnstiles: It has what I consider to be Joel's one perfect pop song, "New York State of Mind," which is just terrific, that slow piano, the great strings, and the lyrics. It's perfection. It also has "Summer, Highland Falls," "Angry Young Man," and the one epic number of his that really cooks, "Miami 2017," which is a hoot.

I know all of this non-52nd Street Billy Joel ephemera because my college roommate sophomore and junior years was fanatical about Billy Joel. He played Turnstiles, The Stranger and Glass Houses constantly (though not 52nd Street for some reason). He even bought a harmonica and a harmonica neck holder so he could perform "Piano Man" on piano and harmonica.Originally posted by Kevin SeitzerWe pinch ran for Altuve specifically to screw over Mith's fantasy team.

Originally posted by eldiablo505After Midnight is a JJ Cale song, not an Eric Clapton song. The fact that he stole it and then sold it out for a shitty beer commercial is just Clapton at his finest. Man, fuck that guy.
Not that the beer commercial thing was necessary, but JJ Cale had a much bigger audience because Clapton covered "After Midnight" and "Cocaine" than he would have otherwise.Originally posted by Kevin SeitzerWe pinch ran for Altuve specifically to screw over Mith's fantasy team.
