BJ is a drunk who writes crappy boring ersatz music. Elton John can write better songs, and he's tremendously gay. BJ should stick to his groundbreaking work on Wahlund Effect on breeding populations.

BJ is a longislander who can GET AWAY WITH MURDER. I am so jealous, it's not even funny. Imagine; being able to break the law, and then when the cops show up, they help you cover it up!!!

Oh, that's right. LOSER.

I just think he sucks. Whatever you call his style - "showtune rock?" - I just can't stand it. It annoys like a Broadway musical.

Billy Joel is not my driver
he's just a guy who claims that he can drive
but he can't, his volvo, it's been impounded
hee hee! Wooo!

They're tearing down Shea Stadium? MLB should have had an All-Star game there to commemorate it!

I broke up with a girl because she liked Billy Joel.

Yeah, but she has his bug-eyes. Regardless, if she has half her mother's body, bring a paper bag and you're set.

For the record: Billy Joel did not start the fire.

I repeat, he did not start the fire

/it was always burnin

 
J.Garcia'sRightMiddleFinger 2008-07-18 12:51:20 PM  
BJ comes to Hartford every year, plays a few absurdly over priced shows, then adds a few more because people can't get enough. The best part is he plays very similar set lists each time, and the same people go to the shows... can't blame BJ for it, its free money.

 
Elmo Jones 2008-07-18 12:52:48 PM  
This sounds like it would have been a great show. I owned Glass Houses when it first came out (on vinyl).
Let's see Tony muddafuggin Bennett sing with Butt Trumpet, or whatever you whipper snapers are listening to on your iPod players. You know what? It's not going to happen.

/You kids get off my lawn, or I'll get Billy Joel to run you over, and beat the rap.

It is a reference to The Rutles (new window - reference at 1:19).

I love that song list of nostalgic baby boomer events.

 
mpv81 2008-07-18 12:54:29 PM  
Not a huge BJ fan, but "Movin' Out" is still something that I will turn up when I hear it. Plus it sounds like he put on one helluva show. All the hate in here is a little ridiculous for commenting on this article.

Hey everyone, it's celebrity intoxicated driving enthusiast Billy Joel!

img49.imageshack.us


'Hi kids! I'm Billy Joel. You might remember me for such songs as "Piano Man" and "Allentown," and such car accidents as Long Island Tree and A House. Those were pretty good times, but I'll tell you what isn't good times: signaling when driving drunk. Remember never to signal any lane changes (it shows other drivers you are weak) and under no circumstances should you obey stop signs (they take away your power).

Huh? Where in the f**k am I? What did I just... why is my car in a building? So much smoke... Is this an orphanage? I hear crying. I'm just... just going to sleep this off for a spell. Could someone call my lawyer?'

Isn't that what most popular bands/performers do?

You mean Elton can sing the songs other people have written.

Elton is a great entertainer, but Bernie Taupin was the real man behind the lyrics.
