The Big Chill Revisited

April 12, 2013 by Tricia Rose Burt

Fantastic use of music

Last night I was driving home very late from a fabulous Moth Mainstage at the Somerville Theater near Boston. There are few things better than a good story well told and the evening was full of them.  Driving home, I played the radio very loud to keep myself awake, singing badly along. Then a classic blared: The Rolling Stones, “You Can’t Always Get What You Want.” I immediately thought of the funeral scene from The Big Chill.

Because every other inch of space was filled with — how can I say this delicately? — every inch was filled with crap.

A Courageous State of Mind

March 14, 2013 by Tricia Rose Burt

The Piano Man in action

A current freshman at my alma mater, Vanderbilt University, recently attended a campus talk by Billy Joel. Turns out, the freshman, Michael Pollack, like his idol Billy Joel, is also a pianist from Long Island. During the Q&A, the freshman asked Joel if he could accompany him in his favorite Billy Joel song, “A New York State of Mind.” Billy Joel said okay. The rest is magical.
