Another one? Dang.If someone once liked it, it's not for him apparently. It's one of his shticks.
I love that word Dang. One of my co-workers - little FL redneck from Martin Co. - uses it all the time, but elongates it into Danggg.Another one? Dang.

Was there an old man sitting next to him making love to his tonic and gin?Saw Billy & band tossing back a few at the old Sheraton Inn in Scranton, circa 1976, a year prior to The Stranger album launching him into the stratosphere

A Joe Strummer or B Billy Joel?To paraphrase Gunny Highway....
I've played more notes, sung more words and strummed more chords than all you numbnuts put together.
So I say with extreme confidence, you don't know what the eff you're talking about.

Flag shown hereWalking along a very quiet stretch of the Sydney harbor waterfront in 1991 when a couple with a little girls was walking towards me. The guy was short and kinda schlubby while the gal was tall, blonde and gorgeous. Yup mr and mrs Joel and daughter. He was doing a concert in Sydney I read later in the Herald. They looked happy. I shook his hand and said hello My Joel as we passed.
Christie was absolutely stunning
That's for sure. He still does his best to hit that high note on An Innocent Man.At least Joel puts on an honest show.
Not mentioned yet, but I always liked "Allentown". The lyrics really do describe the rise and fall of many of the manufacturing cities and towns in Pennsylvania after the Second World War. Though the video gets cheesy towards the end, the message that he sings really reverberates to anyone who has seen their hometown slowly lose businesses and dies a slow, painful decline into a vast wasteland of Dollar General stores and Thrift stores....
Sat at my first bar and had beers at Harris' off Keyser Ave. when I was 17.It’s not like we used to be able to get into bars before we were 21 and never get carded! (Sarcasm font used)
