What do you mean lame? Billy Joel is a legend. He's just one of those laid back, let-me-do-my-thing kinda guys.

I know that Billy hates the media. But with his wit and sense of humor I love it when he fucks with them!

@atlasshrugged2u For one, no, he's not depressed anymore but honestly the past is the past and for you to try to tell me that he's messed up because of it isn't right. Yes, I would LIKE for him to date someone his own age and I think it would be better for him too but to say it's wrong and crap like that is just unnecessary. And I know he's been divorced 3 times..not his fault okay??? They cheated on him...And you're probably going to tell me it's because he's old but I don't go for that crap...

[atlasshrugged2u]

@2maninthemirror We ASSUME he's not because of the trouble he's always in

Listen, I have sins of my own I'm not judging him, but for you to say all that idealistic shit about love and it doesen't matter how old U R etc..sorry but that's bull shit. He's been divorced 3 times his daughter almost killed herself with prescription drugs about 2 years ago, he has had countless DUI's and hes depressed. He's gotta get it together...This 29 yr. old hes dating?...looks like he still has a lot to learn

@atlasshrugged2u I'm not idolizing him I'm giving him a chance! I don't idolize people my friend. Not even the most famous celebrity. I'm just trying to give him a chance so that when people like you come along he can have a break...You're right...I don't KNOW if he's a good man or not but why do we just ASSUME he's not???

[atlasshrugged2u]

@2maninthemirror You don't have to believe it babe. We always put these celebrities on a pedatal when their more fucked up then we are. I don't worship anyone to that extent. Oh and uh.. at the risk of pointing out something that should be OBVIOUS let me just empasize the fact that YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HIM...YOU DON'T KNOW IF HE'S REALLY A "GOOD MAN" OR AN "ASSHOLE"

You like his music, you're a fan but that's it.

Why do pathetic loosers like ourselves idolize these people?...

[atlasshrugged2u]

@2maninthemirror You're very naive LOL!! You don't have to talk to me anymore sweetie; I promise I won't loose any sleep. You can't see the writing on the wall? Like I said THE SAME THINGS are going to happen to him if he continues to date these children, yes I said it CHILDREN. A woman his own age has been through things as well and is "seasoned and mature" Joel obviously has a fetish for girls young enough to be his daughter; it's rediculous and he deserves everything from them he gets!!

[2maninthemirror]

@atlasshrugged2u I'll never believe what you say about him because I know he has a heart and is a much better man than you are giving him credit for.

[2maninthemirror]

@atlasshrugged2u See that is just being totally judgmental and I do not wanna talk to people like that. He is and always will be the Piano Man...and I don't care what age you are...if it works and you're in love then it works and you're in love. That's like saying you can't ride a roller coaster cause you're too old. And also saying that they're just marrying him for his money is judgmental too. The reason we always assume that is cause that's what the world has taught us to see.

[atlasshrugged2u]

@2maninthemirror He's no longer the piano man but a foolish man. He has been through alot. People (family) have taken advantage, he HATES interviews, the press, the whole "I'm a star" deal; he always has. But he is a foolish man when it comes to relationships and that's what gets him into trouble. I mean what does he expect from these young girls?...anyone with eyes can see that these girls are marrying him FOR THE MONEY, until he wises up to that fact he's gona keep having DUI's and divorces.

[2maninthemirror]

@FMFTWproductions Actually I saw him in an interview with someone else and they were talking about his autobiography and he says he thinks it's really gonna be a biography because he's not very self oriented...he specifically said he doesn't like to say "I-I-I-I...Me-Me-Me..." So he really is a better person than a lot of people give him credit for.

[2maninthemirror]

@hmsbackstroker Exactly...everybody is trying to make reason why he's acting like he is and he's probably angry that he has to be there AAAAAND he's actually being quite funny for not wanting to be there. But yeah that's really why he's being like this is because that really is the type of guy he is...He just likes to be who he is.
