What song is it? No vids at work.

But yeah, Billy Joel is epic. Still consider The Stranger to be one of the greatest CD's I've ever heard, but his entire body of work isn't matched by many.

Is he the same guy who rides around on a bicycle at his concerts?

Kickass? The dude writes lounge music and show tunes that he somehow passes off as "rock & roll".

You really have no idea what you're talking about do you? The man is a legend.

I remember in the early new millennium there was some awards show where he and Tony Bennett sang a duet. Long story short Tony Bennett sang Billy Joel into the ground. I guess each human voice box is different.

Popularity does not denote quality, else McDonalds would be the ne plus ultra of cuisine.
The man is a legendary author and performer of lounge music and show tunes.

I sing a pretty awesome version of Vienna if I do say so myself. The ladies like it anyway.

That's all that matters.

And yes, BJ is the man. No pun intended. He is the one guy who I would love to see but haven't yet. I'll catch him next time, he's always in NYC
