Billy Joel is great, all the haters can shove it. 52nd Street and The Stranger are my favorite albums.

In 1984 when I was 17, I went to a Billy Joel concert at the forum in LA with a friend. After the concert, we weazled our way into the Forum Club which is a bar for VIPs. We spent the remainder of the night taking turns walking around Christie Brinkley to check her out up close.

Billy Joel is the fuckin' man! One of the greatest songwriters of all time.

Billy showed up at the bar I was working in greenwich village in the 90s. His guitar player played out every night and that night Billy walks in.
They got him on stage and if you want surreal...try standing two feet away from Billy Joel while he wails away...on a guitar!
I've had fever dreams that made more sense.

Is it weird that I look at this now and I'm like, "wow, he's so young!" even though he was still much older than I am currently? I've just grown up around older people my whole life.

Wow, this is from 4 days ago! Great job, I had no idea Conan was still doing late night.

[OddOneOut]

Conan used to bust Billy's Balls about that Car Crash in some of his Skits, yet he never brings it up when he finally got the chance to interview him. XDXD

He ate Stewie, holy crap, Family Guy will be right back!

[mtalhaawais]

Now why did I think that was Jim Cramer?

[jpw]

We can't escape it either, and wish you never made it.

[Axolotl_Mischief]

Niether can I, and I despise his music. Really one of the all-time worst.
