Underrated

[GuiltyPleasure]

Billy Joel - great lyrics, poet, musician, every word clear as a bell, they don't make 'em like that any more.

We.....start the fire

 

[AllyRose]

Love me some BJ.

The Stranger

The Piano Man

Oh yes...the stranger.

 

[AllyRose]

'Cause he knows that it's me
They've been coming to see
To forget about life for a while

 

[GuiltyPleasure]

Just the way you are

 

[GuiltyPleasure]

The good die young

Some comedian I was watching once says, that Billy Joel, what a romantic! That song..."Just the way you are" Now that is love!

*sings* "Don't go changing..."

Of course... you know he didn't write that song about Christie Brinkley, right?

Maybe that bitch shoulda made some changes!

Wish I could find DVD or something of special I saw years ago ("In His Own Words" or something like that) where he talked & played some.

Have yet to watch my DVD of him playing Shea with Sir Paul, Steven Tyler, etc.

But I still laugh & nod when I think of him on TV discussing "Piano Man", & actual people playing it when he's in a bar, & soon realizing w/o the words, is boring-ly repetitive.

Hot funk, cool punk, even if it's old junk
It's still Rock & Roll to Me

Goodnight Saigon

Why he didn't keep Christie Brinkley tied up to the bed, I will never know.

I think he got what he needed from her with this...

She probably wishes she'd stayed with him after that Peter loser she married later.

Billy Joel is underrated?

I agree. He's rated, for sure.

I saw him perform in 1974 in Alexander Hall at Princeton U. A six-hundred seat auditorium. "Piano Man" was his only hit then, just out.

He was my first concert, ever, in 1989. I was 15 and my best friend's mom took us.

It was amazing, especially when people were giving us free beer. It was the "we didn't

start the fire" tour. (I think that's what it was called)

He was an amazing performer.

Billy Joel is underrated?

She's Canadian.

 

[Mello_SixtyNine]

I've always loved Lullabye (Goodnight, My Angel) and Pressure.

 

[rippitydoo]

She's Canadian.

As someone who's walked Toronto solo, that means nothing.

I think he slapped her around some...and she hauled ass!

She married an ass... & he has a neverending date with a Garden.
