He has been married multiple times and has had his share is his view of honesty. Truly, the entertainment industry is “plastic” and being in that world depicts his experiences. Another banger for Billy Joel.

52nd Street in 1978, the album that this song comes from was the first ever commercial mass-produced CD. And Billy's best vocals in my view all come from the same An Innocent Man album a few years later in 1983, those being the title track An Innocent Man, Leave a Tender Moment Alone and This Night.

What I love about Billy Joel is his eclectic nature He can be soulful, romantic, intensly rockin', or irreverent, depending on what mood you're looking for Add to that, he's not only a singer/songwriter, but a full fledged composer, often writing the music for multiple instruments and arrangements 2 of my favorites fall into the irreverent category with The Entertainer, and New York 2019 (I've seen the lights go out on Broadway)
