EP 078 - Year In Review: 1989

<p>1989 was a high water mark for Billy Joel’s career. He released another chart-topping album, Storm Front, and its number-one hit “We Didn’t Start the Fire.”  </p> <p>That single also found a home in history classrooms around the United States - a feat fitting for someone who once aspired to be a teacher. </p> <p>But the events that preceded its fall release foreshadowed the chorus of the title track from Billy’s 11th studio album. Specifically, the line, “There’s a Storm Front coming.” </p> <p>The year started quietly, with Billy slowly returning to the limelight in broadcast news features, master classes, and guest spots aimed toward children around his daughter’s age.  </p> <p>But before Storm Front’s release, Billy would discover a betrayal that would shake up his inner circle and could potentially leave him bankrupt.  </p> <p>Join us as we dig deep into the high tides and murky waters of Billy Joel in 1989. </p> <p> </p> <p>------</p> <p> </p> <p>Email us: <a href='mailto:glasshousespodcast@gmail.com'>glasshousespodcast@gmail.com</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Glass Houses - A Billy Joel Podcast on the web / social media:</p> <ul><li>Website: <a href='http://www.glasshousespod.com/'>http://www.glasshousespod.com</a></li> <li>Facebook: <a href='https://www.facebook.com/glasshousespodcast/'>https://www.facebook.com/glasshousespodcast/</a></li> <li>Instagram: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/glasshousespod/'>https://www.instagram.com/glasshousespod/ </a></li> <li>Twitter: <a href='https://twitter.com/glasshousespod'>https://twitter.com/glasshousespod</a> </li> <li>Discord: <a href='https://discord.gg/6G6cMRFu7T'>https://discord.gg/6G6cMRFu7T</a></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Support the podcast:</p> <ul><li>Paypal: <a href='https://paypal.me/glasshousespod'>https://paypal.me/glasshousespod</a></li> <li>Venmo: @MGrosvenor</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Produced by Michael Grosvenor & Jack Firneno for <a href='https://www.groovemusicmarketing.com'>Groove Music Marketing</a></p> <p> </p> <p></p>
