BAYVILLE, N.Y. (AP) -- Singer-songwriter Billy Joel was slightly injured and mostly embarrassed when he lost control of his car on a rain-slicked road and banged into a house, the Grammy Award-winning artist's third car accident in two years.

There was no evidence of alcohol or drug involvement and Joel was not suspected of any crime, said Nassau County police Officer Joan Eames, a police spokeswoman.

Witnesses said the accident occurred at about 4 p.m. Sunday, when Joel, driving a burgundy and black car, crashed through a row of bushes and banged into a small beige home one block from the beach.

"He seemed embarrassed that he lost control of the car," said witness Thomas Phillips Jr. "He said, `I can't believe I got in another accident.' He was just going out to get a pizza."

The moral of the story: pay for delivery.

1. Billy Joel has proven his song true time and again:

Only the Good Die Young.

Which is unfortunate for anyone not named Billy Joel.

4. You know he trademarked his name?

I saw that in a concert promo (or similar) once -- "Come see Billy Joel™, live at Alpine Valley!"

5. I believe I shall name my band "Billy Joel."

Then he will sue us, and that suit will make us FAMOUS!

FAMOUS, I say!

18. I saw Nearly Joel, Kiwi BJ tribute act at half-time during a rugby game

between the Otago Highlanders and some South African team. How incongruous is that?

13. I think that was because...

his first wife's and/or her brother stole a ton of money from him.

8. Or any music fans. eom

3. Has he had a complete check of his eyes lately?

Seriously, my friend had the same problem and found out it was an eye problem. He needs to also see his Neurologist.

6. He had to be a big shot

Didn't he?

[Fovea]

7. Perhaps a year on a bicycle

would get him back under control.
This is silly. He also nearly killed himself on a motorbike.
Slow down and give us a break, Billy!

9. Remember Harry Chapin (sp?)

He couldn't drive too well either.

[C_eh_N_eh_D_eh]

10. Going to extremes again, was he?

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

11. And when his friends told him to stop being so self-destructive he said...

..."I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life!"

[Canuckistanian]

12. He's had many accidents

"42nd Street" was the worst. They're still pulling victims out
