Answer...I don't know who is listening to Billy Joel

either by choice or happenstance. He seems to be a talented but disturbed person. Some find those characteristics to be fascinating and are drawn in likes moths to a flame. Such things don't always end well. I can't comment on a favorite song but I can comment on least favorites. My least favorites are generally whatever is coming over the speaker system when I'm in a public place and whatever background music is playing during TV ads. Hope that helps.

Mr Joel has been married at least 4 times and no telling how many "flings" he's had. Such behaviors were tabloid scandal material a time back. Today, folks just yawn when they hear of it. I listened to more music when younger but find most of today's offerings to be intolerable. Aging does something to a person. I remember a saying I heard years back that goes something like:

"Vee Get Too Soon Olt Und Too Late Schmart!"

Now I know what it really means.
