Ce qui?


Apparently Billy Joel's wife is a fair amount younger than I am, while Billy Joel is in fact older than my parents!

We're talking about a guy who spent his late teens and early twenties living homeless in NYC - bar owners used to let him come in and play the piano for customers in exchange he got to be inside in the warm for a few hours - one night he got approached by a guy from a record label who immediately put him into a hotel and signed him for 5 albums... only in america!


Fair play to the guy - he's written some great stuff -

Lenningrad, Italian Restaurant, Midnight Serenade, Piano Man, River of Dreams - all great songs just to name a few!


He writes great lyrics (OK he does tend to pinch arrangements from classical composers but who doesnt?) and I have seen him kick Elton John's *ss on the piano playing one of Eltons songs live twice!


He maybe out of our generation a bit but so is Paul Simon but you cant ignore their raw talent.


Anyway thats my rant over with

Bill Joel is dreadfull.  That is all there is to say on this matter.


Don't really care who he marries though, reminds me of the old interview question "So, Debbie, what first attracted you to the multi-millionaire Paul Daniels" .... of course I could be being a cynical ol' bar steward.

I think this is a fairly accurate assessment dude. If you want proper piana playing, you need to listen to Herbie Hancock.

Right, and more, like Stevie Wonder (pre 80's), Ray Charles, Chick Corea, Joey Zawinal, Page McConnell, etc... I'm still not sure whether Billy or Elton should mentioned with such names though in a proper conversation!

I think where BJ comes into his own is playing live - he is afterall a classically trained concert pianist and it does show -


He may not be everyone's cup of tea but as a songwriter of nearly 20 years myself - I can see his talent.

Although it would quite impressive to see him playing whilst he was dead, hmm?

If that's the case, leave him alone to mourn the fact that Billy has married someone else.  Poor Stead...
