I still remember a radio ad for some alt-rock show circa 1981 featuring the Pretenders and Talking Heads. The promo included "Talk of the Town" and "Life During Wartime." I think that was the first place I heard either song.

It takes a genius like Pseu to play Billy Joel where others would shy away from his intermittent pop brilliance. The Nylon Curtain is his Plastic Ono Band meets the White Album, btw.
