Indeed. But no one can take away the memories. Stay safe.

[@bcdrummer1962]

What a deep question. I gotta say YES, NO, and every emotion in between. The thing I keep thinking about is how horrified my parents were when I got my first KISS album in 1975.....they were big band era music lovers (I'm a jazz lover to this day) and I'm sure they felt EXACTLY the way I sometimes feel looking at the music of today - that everything has changed for the worse..... In an odd way,though, that thought gives me hope. Know what I mean? PS I also grew up in NJ :-)

I was in a bar in the Upper East Side New York called « Elaine’s », must have been 1982-83. This guy just walks in, alone, and starts playing on the piano, including this one in a very cool, slowed down version. So I say to my buddy: « This guy’s pretty good ». My friend looked at me dumbfounded « Man, that’s freaking Joe Jackson ». I’d never heard of him. Been a fan ever since.

[@Vinnie-cv5qv]

[@perrynnlynch3811]

Great comment.

[@michaelt3308]

That WAS the place to be in the 80s!

[@JP51ism]

Elaine's boasted many celebs, but you had to be cool & not hassle them. Alan King & Mort Sahl were at a nearby tables. The editor of the Paris Review, George Plimpton, was at the next urinal in the men's room. When I brought a Dutch woman there, Sean Connery was at the bar. Woody Allen's movie "Celebrity" has a scene there that featured many who could be found there.

Is a genius. And his music is timeless. We saw him perform on this tour and they played Steppin’ Out with the drum machine. It was great. There is a big difference. Back in the 1980’s Joe was something of an arrogant dick. Nowadays he seems to really appreciate that we love his music.

Hard to believe, the first time I heard this was 40 years ago.

[@fardycakes1606]

This is one of the most perfect songs. I have no real nostalgic connection to it, but it's just a fantastic vibe. The electric piano chords are such innovative voicings, paired with a driving bass, and the glockenspiel sitting over the top of them. It's just a magical song.

[@EricBBarker]

Yeah, you don't just come up with those voicings without a hell of a lot of classical/jazz experience. You hear this kind of thing in background parts played by a lot of studio guys, but never as the front-and-center instrument to rock/pop. Pop stars just don't write this kind of stuff! Only the fringy, heady stuff like JJ, Kate Bush, Peter Gabriel, and their ilk. The "anti-punks". Is it prog? Maybe (JJ has obviously dipped his toe into the progrock mode more than once), but more specifically, it's a lot of formal training.

[@ericweiler6571]

If you're born in the 70s like I was, and this song doesn't bring you back to your childhood, NOTHING WILL. The 80s-greatest time ever

idk man; maybe its late, maybe I'm hyper-sensitive but this video just made me happy almost to the point of tears.

So for this moment and for your beautiful gift that made it happen: thank you so much Sir Jackson.

@@eddyvideostar Hard to explain, but it was. I only went to one night. The only person who went both nights was the concierge, and she probably doesn't remember it, but I do. He was very organic, exuding an electric energy, feeding off the audience. Back in those days, I was given lots of free tickets to shows (like Dave Brubeck), met lots of industry people, and one year got two tickets to the Super Bowl (gave those away). It could have easily been the worst concert, but it wasn't; I reserve that for Angel, and I paid for that garbage because a friend wanted to go.
