‘Freaks and Geeks’ and music too

Colleen Fischer | Monday, February 22, 2021

A part of the charm of “Freaks and Geeks,” a single-season 1999 comedy-drama, is the fully developed and compelling characters.

Even the guidance counselor serves as a central character, developing

As campus prepares for the Long Island legend’s fateful return, Scene will try its hand at the impossible — to define, as it were, a theory of Joel. Our theorists will look beyond the songs and into the soul of the man, the mystery, the myth, the whole, the Billy that is the Joel.

Billy Joel remains ‘The Entertainer’

Marek Mazurek | Monday, August 29, 2016

Though nearing 70, Joel still has the chops and charisma to captivate a crowd — if the very drunk, middle-aged woman in front of me was anything to go by. Joel stuck mostly with his greatest hits, opening with “Angry Young Man,” “My Life” and “The Entertainer.” There were a few slower songs — “Just

“So we talked about abortion and marriage and re “So we talked about abortion and marriage and religious freedom, and I don’t know how we could not talk about it. I mean, we have to be authentic teachers. We’re not going to be silent about the truths that we hold dear.”

“Other bishops think that, because he’s a conscientious Catholic whose faith is obviously important to him, we should strike a more positive tone, particularly at the outset of his presidency.
