Billy Joel is #1 on the album charts today in 1980 with “Glass Houses”.

“People were saying I was too soft, that I didn’t rock. So I said, ‘Okay, I’ll make a rock album.’ Glass Houses was me throwing a rock through a window — literally and musically.”

I just heard a guest say on MSNBC that Trump likely doesn't have a case in his Wall Street Journal libel case unless he gets Judge Cannon. Everyone nodded and agreed. And it struck me that we've now reached the point where brazen corruption is just expected and accepted as a part of civic life.
