Balladeer's Blog · Singing the praises of things that slip through the cultural cracks
Balladeer's Blog 
Billy is my all time idol.
And is Billy Idol your all-time Joel?
Billy is a genius!
Pretty much yes.
My son and I just adore every Billy Joel song!
I’m a big devotee too.
Excellent! I love Billy!
I understand!
I used to think this was done by a country western singer.
I haven’t looked but maybe one of them did a cover of it.
He looked different back then.
Yes, he did!
Amazing! Billy was a genius for several decades.
Yes he was!
Love his early stuff!
So do I!
I love this song!
I do too!
