Joel Radio #66: Fishing With Jake
Joel Radio returns with power. Really. Power, meaning the utility company actually managed to keep the lights on long enough to finish the podcast. This follows a long, hot, sticky week in Detroit, where the power went out, a comedy show was ruined and the people were miserable – sounds like every week! Actually not, as Joel saw Paul McCartney perform live this week and gives a full, enthusiastic review. Corey, meanwhile, is stuck at home watching reality TV. Especially his favorite show, Storage Wars. But for God’s sake, don’t watch the sad, 2nd-tier knock-offs. Also, the guys join Google +, Jake Gyllenhaal goes to the wild, Hillbilly Handfishin’, and Katy Perry’s ass comes out for the Smurfs. Plus, Falling Skies soars, 30 Minutes or Less is the summer’s best comedy, and new a website is imminent.

I’m 37 and I really don’t understand guys like you Joel that get so infatuated with bands who jumped the shark before we were even born. Is nothing else in music post-1970 worthy of your fanatical level of devotion? I’ve only been listening to you since around 2008 and I’ve never heard you mention any other band besides ICP (and that commentary is rarely about their music). Do you listen to any bands where the majority of the members are not dead?
When I was a kid my dad would always have the AM oldies station on the radio in the car. I hated it! I didn’t grow up thinking, “Hey I want to relisten to and rebuy this stuff over and over again for the rest of my life!” So I don’t get it when relatively young people become obsessed with bands from prior decades. I don’t see it as a betrayal of our generation to go to a McCartney concert but I don’t see why anyone under 50 does when there’s so much more going on in music nowadays.
