Billy Joel is at his candid best! Thanks for posting this video

[@tomlineberger]

I've always enjoyed his music!!

[@deborahdavis6801]

No, it's not just being competent. You touch people with your music and lyrics. That's the gift that you give.

[@gloryakiepper7918]

A poet that touches our heart and soul. Also a writer who puts music and lyrics together that makes🎉 us laugh, dance and remember. Billy Joel you are all that and more . Thank you for the quiet that frames the laughs ,the sing along and dances.

He does know to write and arrange music.

[@georgepappas7251]

A class act

[@headreallyhurts]

Me to Joel: You had to be a big shot, didn'ya?

[@ColleenCupido]

Check out Beethoven's Doctorate in music....or Shakespeare's in English Literature.....or Michelangelo's in Art

Thank you kindly, 60 minutes. Your history has been followed since you began or maybe since 1955 lol and the belief that "music is best " came from words of Frank Zappa who went through most everything on earth then results: #music is #best and grateful teachers were once students whether it was self-tutelage or engaged with others, the idea and brands throughout history of how the wind sounds makes my Ancient & Accepted Masonic travels that much more rewarding after youth, adult, then #oldagegeezer in poor health but gratefully of the physical body and not the mind. #smib *Wallace and Ayn Rand. Wallace and the author from England who moved to California and gave an exemplary version of advertising, freedom, and for me it was about music of the inflection and tenor of one's voice when Opera is best comes to mind from the beginning of time acting as though TODAY is the last day of life. Ever to virtue with fellows of the craft who are masters of truth and integrity. I like Billy Joel and how he explained music because both our children began piano lessons with a wonderful lady, before they were ten years of age. It proved invaluable for their happiness as children unknowing of life and the human condition of their parental joy in hearing and seeing how quickly they picked it up and ran with it now since 1989 and 1992 Kev/Shan-Calson Associates circa 1920. 🐬So mote it be. Ever to virtue with fellows in the Craft who are masters of truth and integrity with quality of life for all inhabitants of #Earth. Brotherly love, truth, and relief (music) for those in distress.

CHEER$ 🥂 NYC

[@jayclarke6671]

I just read that this was from 1998. I was thinking boy he looks a lot younger all of a sudden lol. Yea he is great in that his most famous music from the 70s which really is his bedrock captured ethnic NYC of that era. I was an 8 year old immigrant to LA from Scotland back in the late 70s and knew nothing about NYC but his music gave me a window into that world.

[@davidmueller9342]

Umbrella helped - can't buy me happiness.

[@DJ-bj8ku]

Seems to be the tough part about being a solo. He doesn’t have a Lennon or McCartney to tell him what’s good or isn’t good about his music.

[@cousinoliver3939]

He's right. We are living in an age of incompetentcy.

[@glenngrinter6818]

His ex brother in law stole millions from him, not all recouped.😳🎼

[@ritchievernon8099]

The song only the Good die Young, his words say, I'd rather laugh with the sinner than cry with the saints! This song is delusional! There's a heaven and there's a hell! Which one do you prefer? There's not going to be any laughing in hell! There's going to be weeping and gnashing of teeth! which path will you choose? I'd rather choose heaven! 🙏

[@theadventuretravelchannel]

Billy Joel fan but I cringe at that song for the same reason. I hope he's changed his mind as hell isn't a party like he assumes.

[@nikosvault]

Well, if you guys are in heaven it sounds like hell to me.

[@thisisme3238]

I like Billy Joel, but his arrogance shows a side of him rarely seen. Pride always comes before a fall, hope his landing from the fall is an easy one...arrogance is always so ugly. Talented people's abilities need no boasting.

[@howtodoitdude1662]

Get real, we are all sinners. He didn’t say laugh with the demons 😂

[@ritchievernon8099]

@@theadventuretravelchannel I really appreciate that we feel the same thing! I also hate the song drops of Jupiter! The lights haven't faded an heaven isn't overrated! The group train has no idea who God is? And that one joke writer who wrote the song tell me all your thoughts about God because I really love to meet her? 😠🚨🎆

[@jackstraw262]

Just a reminder that phish has sold Madison square garden out more times than billy joel. And yes, it is a competition. And yea, phish won.

[@howtodoitdude1662]

Get your facts straight.

[@1969EType]

Phish 83 sold out MSG concerts. Billy Joel 150 sold out MSG concerts.

[@skipmatsey8352]

Who sold more records?

[@1969EType]

@@skipmatsey8352 Phish 8 million albums and DVDs. Billy…150 million albums.

[@zenveg]

And yet most normal folks couldn’t name one Phish song let alone sing along with it.
