Podcast: Bill and Frank’s Guilt-Free Pleasures
Episode: Joe Jackson: "Steppin' Out" (with Dave Kitchen)
Description: Dave Kitchen brings us what he feels to be a "quintessential guilt-free pleasure." Joe Jackson's "Steppin' Out" is undeniably of its time, but what a glorious time that was. We discuss the backstory of the song as well give a close reading of its lyrics. We also discuss the New York City of 1982, which is nearly a world away from the NYC of today. Be prepared to be transported back to another time as we step out into the night!
