Bonus Song: If Billy Joel rerecorded this but changed the title to Miami 2027 he would probably hit the mark with this apocalyptic story. Talk about extremes: there was a time long ago when Billy Joel was cool.

Billy Joel - Miami 2017:

We wrap up with Marty Balin urging us to believe in miracles while he talks about having a taste of you and dancing inside you. This song actually played on the radio back in 1975, which shows you how far we've fallen in America as a society. I cannot be held responsible for the extreme things that might start happening to you when Grace Slick starts moaning.

Whew, we made it through the lows. Now for a few highs to wrap up #Extremes #FridayNightJukebox #Music

No, this is not a band created by Wes Anderson for one of his identical movies. This is an actual band that existed in the Sixties. That album cover shows what it would be like if some accountants started a rock band. Too extreme?

Association - Never My Love:

I burn down your cities, how blind you must be
I take from you your children and you say, 'How blessed are we?'
You all must be crazy to put your faith in Me
That's why I love mankind

A human writing a song from the viewpoint of an omnipotent deity is fairly extreme.

Matthew Sweet tries his best to top Richard Thompson for the title of Darkest Song Ever. If the lyric "Everything I'll ever be, I've been" doesn't qualify for you, then you have led a fortunate life. To counterpoint the genuine anguish Richard Lloyd of Television fame provides the sweetest guitar.
