New Documentary on Life of Billy Joel...

[Sega Genesis]

If that story is true about Billy Joel, he looks pretty bad with that.

That seems like grounds for immediate divorce in a marriage, but too many women would not file for divorce immediately after an incident like that.

I'm sure it's true, if it weren't he could sue her for slander.

He has taken responsibility for all the chaos he caused and they are still on friendly terms and she also wrote she has the utmost respect and admiration for him.

They are on good terms.

They only had one kid together and that kid is 39 years old now. They might still need to interact for the daughter's birthday and maybe a holiday season gathering.

Oops my bad, I thought after I responded you might have meant that!

Anyway after you said you loved it, I looked it up online and it does look like an interesting city. A lot of history!

But agree, great song.

It’s a cool town. A city build almost entirely on the back of Andrew Carnegie and US Steel. I hope the AI boom comes to them like it just did to Pittsburgh

The things I learn here...

I've never spent any time in Pittsburgh either; I've only driven past on route to Cali.

I've been to Philly though! PA in general has tons of history.

SoCal in comparison does not and is becoming a real drag. I was never meant to live here.

One of my brothers lives in eastern Connecticut and I'm actually thinking of moving to Boston or Rhode Island.

We’ve all been there

Big Shot is a funny song

We Didn't Start The Fire is the most Boomer thing ever though

And of course, Boomers had to give it Song of the Year at the Grammys even though it's prob the worst thing Billy's ever done. (And by far the weakest song that's ever been nominated for that award, let alone won it).

Dude was on fire from '77 (The Stranger album) through '83 (An Innocent Man album)

Lol @ Big Shot.

A bit of trivia and possibly rumor but it's been said he wrote that song after a date he had with Bianca Jagger.

In that case the song should've been called "Big Mouth"

Dude was on fire from '77 (The Stranger album)...

Wish I could have seen him in concert.

This may be my favorite...

Well, we all fall in love
But we disregard the danger
Though we share so many secrets
There are some we never tell
Why were you so surprised
That you never saw the stranger
Did you ever let your lover see
The stranger in yourself?

He killed her

Shout out to all you Dads. Especially those with daughters.

Billy's daughter Alexa Ray joins him on stage during his last concert in Madison Square Garden in 2024 singing "To Sir With Love."

She refers to him as her "hero," not sure how he was able to keep it together but it was a lovely tribute from daughter to dad.

Joel is an aberrational instance of an incel-tier man that was able to mog the sheet out of most everyone with his music.

He has a few songs about trying to spin game, "Get It Right The First Time", as well as taking the Black Pill, "Captain Jack".

After watching the doc, been listening to his music, what a talent!

I've always thought that "Brenda & Eddie" were Stacy & Chad.

Billy Joel was born in 1949. Height was not judged as harshly in his young adult years as it is today. That said, his 5'5" height would have been a negative even in the 1960s-1980s mating environment.

Prince (born 1958) was only 5'2".

Billy Joel and Prince both needed to have exceptional talent to make a lot of money in order to get laid.

A 5'5" man does not date women in the 5'9"-6'0" range without being wealthy.

People in NYC (where Joel is from) are generally a little short anyway.

New York, Standing Not So Tall

Researchers find not only that the height of Americans is lagging behind that of other rich Western nations, but also that New Yorkers are significantly shorter than their counterparts in Kansas.

@MatureDJ You should consider NYC/Long Island/Jersey. You won't be as short and you can take delight in all of the wonderful Italianas there. Buon appetito!
