I saw him in Phx last year, his sax player walked up into the stands, but suddenly stopped playing; I looked over and he had tripped and fallen flat on his face, I cant imagine how he felt as he limped back to stage.. he was a good sport about it tho That was probably the best live performance I've ever seen.. not the sax player tripping

Yay! More Billy Joel fans!

I have been shuffling Nylon Curtain, The Stranger, and Glass Houses in my CD player for the past 2 months.

Must.

Rootbeer Rag............damn do I feel old. I've seen Billy Joel 8 times starting back in 1976 at the PAC in Milwaukee. The place only seats about 2,800.
A few years ago I was at a party on a boat in Snug Habor on Long Island and Billy Joel walks down the pier gets on the next boat over and motors on out of the habor.

you had to be a bigsh....bigsh........bigshot............


you had to have the last laugh, last night.........


Billy has written some incredible tunes. I dig him.

Feel very lucky to have seen Billy Joel and Elton John when they went on tour a few years back.........what a show that was.

He had an edge and energy that was amazing on stage. He would do a three hour show on a regular basis

"Through the Long Night" off of Glass Houses always makes me weepy.

Angry Young Man
Turnstiles Released: Turnstiles


There's a place in the world for the angry young man
With his working class ties and his radical plans
He refuses to bend he refuses to crawl
And he's always at home with his back to the wall
And he's proud of his scars and the battles he's lost
And struggles and bleeds as he hangs on his cross
And likes to be known as the angry young man

Give a moment or two to the angry young man
With his foot in his mouth and his heart in his hand
He's been stabbed in the back he's been misunderstood
It's a comfort to know his intentions are good
And he sits in his room with a lock on the door
With his maps and his medals laid out on the floor
And he likes to be known as the angry young man

I believe I've passed the age of consciousness and righteous rage
I found that just surviving was a noble fight
I once believed in causes too
I had my pointless point of view
And life went on no matter who was wrong or right

And there's always a place for the angry young man
With his fist in the air and his head in the sand
And he's never been able to learn from mistakes
So he can't understand why his heart always breaks
And his honor is pure and his courage is well
And he's fair and he's true and he's boring as hell
And he'll go to the grave as an angry old man

Yes there's always a place for the angry young man
With his working class ties and his radical plans
He refuses to bend he refuses to crawl
And he's always at home with his back to the wall
And he's proud of his scars and the battles he's lost
And struggles and bleeds as he hangs on his cross
And likes to be known as the angry young man
