Glass Houses

A 1980 studio album by American singer/songwriter/pianist Billy Joel, went to number one on the album charts and has two of the 80s most memorable songs, ''You May Be Right'', and ''It's Still Rock and Roll To Me''. Critically well received because of Joel's versatility in his ability to shift from the jazz and pop themes of his previous albums to pure, new wave inspired rock and roll.
Glass Houses is now in its fifth week straight on top of the charts. Billy Joel really knows how to rock.

Word of the Day on November 3, 2026
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
