Today's Back Pages first take us to Attic Records circa 1983 with members of Teenage Head flanked left to right by Attic principals' Al Mair and Tom Williams. Unsurprisingly, front and centre is the band's manager of the time, the late Jack Morrow. The occasion is a platinum presentation to the boys for successfully selling 100,000 LPs of Frantic City in the market. The classic album included such notables as Somethin' On My Mind, Let's Shake, Infected, and Disgusteen.


The second pic today was taken in 1991, featuring CHUM GM Jim Waters with CARAS President Peter Steinmetz on the occasion of the broadcaster donating $10K as the first of a five-year patronship of the CARAS Academic Support Fund.

Billy Joel Doc Director Gives Update on Singer’s Health: ‘He’s Doing Physical Therapy, He’s Healing’

The "Piano Man" singer canceled a number of summer shows after being diagnosed with the brain disorder normal pressure hydrocephalus.

One of the directors of the upcoming two-part Billy Joel documentary, Billy Joel: And So It Goes, gave an update on the singer’s health two months after the 76-year-old “Piano Man” legend revealed that he’d been diagnosed with the brain disorder normal pressure hydrocephalus.

Co-director Susan Lacy told Good Morning America on Wednesday (July 16) that Joel has been “doing physical therapy, he’s healing, he’s working on getting better.” In May, Joel canceled all his planned summer shows due to the condition, which can affect vision, hearing and balance.
