I mean, the whole idea that a second job makes up for what's withheld from your full-time job's paycheck...that's fitting a lot into a line!

D.I.Y.
You know I seen her with a hardware guy
I bet her plumber never told her why
I got a crowbar and I aim to pry
And when she knows what she wants from her toolboxes
She'll see my wrenches and hinges and padlockses*
She'll see I'm not so raw
Just because I have a saw
And I D.I.Y...

SALLY RIDERIDE SALLY RIDE! We can’t believe it’s true, but Sally Ride is the birth name of the woman who’d later to become the First American woman to orbit space. Talk about nominative determinism!
Because she... "rode" in the Space Shuttle?

i was honestly unprepared for how IA this makes me this is some old lady yells at cloudsbullshit whatever who caresbut i was fully having to look this shit up in world book encyclopedias and read the dumb endless articles about these dumb nouns that were still kinda mystifying to me a 13 year old and not an aging man caught in a rapidly changing world besides duh turns out they just random names of things to rhyme in a song that you can sing along todo we need a podcast about each of these nouns? do we fuck 30+ years later these little shits have computers in their pockets where they can just fuckin ask an ai bot to tell them about Red China Johnny Ray like oooh i can’t wait for the Walter Winchell episode FUCK OFF

There’s a clip out there somewhere of Bob Costas defending this and Dave Marsh responding that it was a rap song without the rhythm. I thought that description was hilarious and kind of reflected the problem with a lot of his songs - pastiches without the heart or the backbone of whatever he was emulating.
― birdistheword, Thursday, 27 April 2023 07:05 (one year ago) link
...and there you have the Joelian paradox: for him, the pastiche IS the heart. The emulation IS the point. He's not even an avatar of anything: the dude is a television channel. And I think he kind of knows that. Fortunately or unfortunately he has become associated with what he was broadcasting.
That said, I think he has genuine and sincere things to say (cf. "And So It Goes," "This Is the Time"). But he's had such a long career of being a glib entertainment channel, and that's so very easy and lucrative, that the real Bill (if there ever was one) got lost. It's either an American tragedy or a type of American triumph.
