Did you know that someone who is honest with themself is a black swan event? Less than one person in a million are truly emotionally honest with themself. And it's an independent metric for people who put up fronts and facades, but the chances of someone who is actually honest with others is equally improbable. So combined, it's about a one in a trillion chance of finding someone who is honest both with themself and others, possibly one person in all of future history. Honesty isn't just rare, it's mythological, like a unicorn.

Not the first by a long shot. Paul Robeson and Marion Anderson in the 1930s. Benny Goodman and his orchestra toured the USSR for two months in 1962. Duke Ellington and his orchestra in 1971 played to huge crowds. I think Billy Joel is fantastic. But American musicians played big concerts in Russia long before rock stars got there.

I can’t remember what record they broke and then he also had a huge concert that was on DVD called last play at Shea Stadium before they tore it down, I saw him on the piano to piano tour where he played opposite Elton John and they played each other stuff they would just switch back-and-forth they could easily play what the other had written, and they played for four hours!

If it's any consolation, he doesn't have a hairline like that anymore either. He is everything you're saying he is though. He's a great songwriter, a great singer, and a great piano player! All his songs demonstrate what a great songwriter he is. He has a song called For the Longest Time, which is an acapella song with multiple part harmony in which he sings every part in the studio version, which demonstrates what a great singer he is, and he composed a ragtime song called Root Beer Rag, which is just an old ragtime, piano instrumental, which shows what a great piano player he is. You're gonna love New York State of Mind. There's a video that all the reactors use of Billy Joel and his band performing it live in a club, which is the coolest thing you've ever seen. He gets to showcase all of his abilities in that one. His saxophone player is incredible in that video too!

Joel has several different 'eras' to his music. His 70's stuff is very 'new york piano bar' type of style... as I assume that is where he got his start with songs like Piano Man, and Honesty His early 80's stuff, because of him getting older, I think was more about reminiscing about his youth, and the music of the 50's that inspired him... as heard in songs like Uptown Girl, Tell Her About It, For The Longest Time His late 80's and early 90's stuff was where his sound really started to vary.... as heard in songs like We Didn't Start The Fire, The Downeaster Alexa, A Matter of Trust Dude's musical repertoire continues well past that, and the amount of hits that he has had is in the multiple dozens...... Vienna, Just The Way You Are, You May Be Right, Only The Good Die Young, Pressure, She's Got A Way, My Life, Allentown, Big Shot, All For Leyna, I Go To Extremes, It's Still Rock & Roll To Me, An Innocent Man, Keeping The Faith, Modern Woman, You're Only Human... and so many more..
