I looove Billy Joel and Elton John. I wanted to go see them a few years ago but my dad didn't realize I liked them enough. :( :P lol
But the Piano Man rocks! :D I've known the lyrics to We Didn't Start The Fire since I've liked music in general! lol

"Downeaster Alexa" Love it,too. Speaking as a Gordon Lightfoot fan, I have always thought it would be a great song for him to cover.

I have most of Billy's albums. I'm missing "The Bridge". Though, I ownwed it once. Now I can't find it in the stores... LOL! I LOVE his 4CD greatest hits collection! It's one of my most prized possessions! :D

You got his DVDs, Dan?

Uhhh... I have Greatest Hits 3 and Ultimate Billy Joel on DVD. I plan to get Live At Yankee Stadium... Eventually... LOL! Are there any others?

I think that is all, at least the official ones.
I was addicted to GH3 for a while there, several years ago, but I grew out of that stage.
Anyone remember Billy's appearance on SNL when he also showed up in a skit, some German-Hollywood Squares type thing?

Nope but... I WANNA SEE IT!!! :P

As the skit was in "German," the joke was that Billy kept saying "Glockenspiel," then would quickly play one.
He was also the musical guest, performing We Didnt Start the Fire and Downeaster Alexa, which makes it a 1989-ish show.

Aw... I wish I'd seen that... :'(

Well whippersnapper, if you had been born in the 1970s like I was, you probably could have.

I watched SNL most weeks all those years ago (you know how children LOVE to stay up late!). Though, I didn't really understand much but the physical comedy until about 91' or so. Maybe some network will smile on me and re-run it.;)
Opening monologue had Victoria Jackson, and her ditzy blond voice, during a voice-over for Kathleen Turner. "Die Squaren Ost Berliner" was the skit with Billy.

Ooh! Cool! Thanks Zeni! :D By the way, Did you see the episode of "Inside The Actors Studio" with Billy on it? It was awesome!

I think I have it on tape somewhere, along with a couple appearances on the Tonight Show.
