Billy Joel Has to be one of the best artists out there. im saving for tickets to one of his shows. i saw online hes touring again in 2013. i love pretty much any and all music form the 80's and i was born in 1992!! all this rap crap is just that. crap!. LONG LIVE BILLY JOEL!!!!!!!!
Man It is so encouraging to hear young people say that they like this song and Billy Joel. I was beginning to think the whole world had turned to rap...
He just came to my school for his question and answer lecture series. He is so amicable and funny and played everyone's requests. He even tried to do this one, but he only had a piano haha. He is my favorite artist.
To anyone who feels that it is sad to love this song and be young, don't be. It doesn't matter how old you are or how old this song is. As long as you know what you love don't second guess it and enjoy the song. I've loved this song since I was 9 and I am 18 now.
@MrRossstewart I have... and I can honestly say that it's like all Waylon's covers... a good version of a song done much better by the original artist!
I love the little extra 2 lines in each verse! No 4 lines per verse in this song! Excellent energy, wit and soul in this song. "So they cut it down to 3:05"... Priceless
im 18 and my dad still tells me stories about how funny i was singing this song at age 4 or 5 and i knew all the words but misheard some of them. still an amazing song
It's Still Rock'n Roll to Me is a companion song to this. Lyrically speaking. This is aimed more at record companies and Radio, and ISRRTM is more aimed at Rock critics and Journalists
Captain jack, Goodnight Saigon, Piano man, The Entertainer. Billy joel always uses alias's, like captain jack is about getting high but instead of syaing it he says captain jack. He smart and a great singer.
captain jack is about a group of teens buying heroine from a drug dealer known as captain jack. billy joel said he wrote as an anti-drug song from a loser's point of view. but still agreed he is a great singer and smart writer.
@UploaderOfGoodMusic thats what nice about billy joel songs, he is great at putting what hes saying in a relateable and easy to understand way, and certainly without loosing any of the musics power or meaning!
His songs always seem to cheer me up :P
