Whatever happened to...?

One of the little hidden rewards of my afternoon drive is that for the first time in ages I listened to Joe Jackson's Body & Soul. I'd forgotten how good that CD is. Kinda jazzy, with one of the saddest breakup songs ever ("Be My Number Two"), and of course the timeless reminder that--despite what you may think--you can't get what you want till you know what you want. Back in the '80s he was almost on a par with Elvis Costello in the pantheon of intelligent and popular songwriters...what happened? Meanwhile, we're force-fed a steady diet of Phil Collins on local radio. No justice in this world, I tell ya.
