JOE JACKSON

[saltc <saltc@xjtu.edu.cn>]

I can't refrain myself anymore:

why doesn't anyone ever mention Joe Jackson?

Joe Jackson and Kate Bush have been my all-time favourites since.....

I don't know if there's a comparison to be made between them, but they j
ust appeal to me in such a similar way. They both write such beautiful, 
intrinsically complicated songs and music, and play with music styles as 
it they were baby toys. They're great.

Somehow a song like "Forty years ago" on the Big World album reminds me 
of "The Saxophone Song"; but that's probably because of the mention of B
erlin.

Still, how about "Real Men" and "Room for a life"? I definitely see a co
nection there.

And there's so much more.

Anyway, I'm off now. I've got to teach students who have never heard of 
KB and JJ. But one day they WILL.....
