16. You don't owe me at all, CP.
I was being silly. It's Saturday, after all, and that just means there's more wine in my system than usual. :)

Cheers!

2. I like his big production symphonic numbers
Ballad of Billy the Kid; Angry Young Man,

He should have written for Broadway.

5. Ha!
I happened to come across the fnal minutes of a recent Billy Joel concert on A&E or some channel, and he finished whatever number it was by jumping up on the piano and sort of running on the spot and flailing his arms for a whole minute. He's kind of portly now, so he was sweating so much he resembled a Billy Joel-shaped lawn sprinkler.

He looked like Richard Simmons on a coke binge.

But I have a soft spot for Billy Joel, because anyone who can go in front of millions of people and dance as clunkily as he and Christie Brinkley did in the Uptown Girl video... well, they make me feel like Fred Astaire.

15. Whenever I think of my Long Island roots, I think of Billy Joel...
...and am relieved I don't live there any more.

Syosset bars were depressing before he was famous, and they are much more so now.
