New York State of Mind at Ole Grey Whistle- Billy Joel. You will love it Britt ❤

@pamelawertz498 5 ай бұрын

You have to do New York State of Mind from a British show called The Old Grey Whistle Test. It's live. It's in his younger days. And you look really hot in glasses..

I disagree. Great version, absolutely. But, for a first reaction nothing can beat the perfect production of the studio version. Especially being a NY girl (I think I heard Britt say that?) it is captivating.

I played this for my beautiful daughter when she was in early high school. It turned i to a bonding moment. I hope there is enough bad in her to live a lot longer. She was diagnosed with flHCC at 23. An ultra rare form of liver cancer. It was a hell of a trip and she is stronger than me. I would have given up during the 3 major surgeries than followed and the 4th to fix the mess from the 3rd. The only good thing i can say about that experience is i got to stay with her for 6 weeks at a time as she recovered from those major surgeries. 3 years of good scan now and counting and hoping for so many more. My shinning star.

The song is a narrator pressuring a Catholic girl to sleep with him instead of waiting until marriage, emphasized by her name prominently featuring the word "virgin." He also has a song about phone sex called "Sometimes a Fantasy."

@lesrichardson4971 5 ай бұрын

Today he might be called a Chad or Tyrone. And then later on when he's ditched her he could sing along with Elvis, "I Was the One." Not much has changed in 50 or 60 years. I remember those guys from as far back as junior high.

@strangeworldsunlimited712 5 ай бұрын

The Virginia in the song is named after a school classmate that Billy had a crush on. Billy wrote the song from his true experience, trying to get Virginia to go out with him. Unfortunately, his efforts failed. Virginia never went out with Billy.

Back in the mid-70s this song was surprisingly controversial. A lot of radio stations wouldn't play it. When he appeared on Saturday Night Live in 1978, he played "Just the Way you Are" first, and his second song was supposed to be something else (maybe "She's Always a Woman"), but he switched it up at the last minute and played this instead. He didn't get invited back until 1989. But it didn't hurt his career, to say the least.

@stevenklyce3555 5 ай бұрын

After his first LP gained traction with Piano Man and Captain Jack on the charts, we had tickets in his first major national tour. The auditorium had 2400 seats, only half sold. Billy steps out on stage, shades his bulging eyes (a condition he had at that age), saw the sparse attendance, then announced, “It’s quality, not quantity”. Won us over immediately and put on a wildly animated show. Within the year his mega-hit, Just the Way You Are had him selling out stadiums and never looking back.

When this song came out our priest addresses the youth groups about boycotting this song. (We’re not Catholic, we’re Greek Orthodox but just as strict). About 10 years ago that same priest was excommunicated for having an affair with a parishoner. I guess he’ll live to an old age.

@debbiehanson9201 5 ай бұрын

Billy Joel was born in 1949, which means he was around 16 when Vatican II, which finally modernized some of the more restrictive elements of the Catholic faith passed, so if he was thinking about those old teenage years of his....yeah, those Catholic girls were certainly not being encouraged to laugh with any sinners. Heck, they were being told to leave room for the Holy Ghost between them and any boys with whom they were dancing. Also, the phrase "only the good die young" is a very old saying that originally meant that the morally upright tended to die younger, sometimes because they insisted on defending ethical stances that were not popular. In some circles, it's kind of morphed into meaning that you never really live if all you're continually concentrating on is being good. For me, this song always brings back memories of my friend Vonnie blasting it out the windows of her Catholic college dorm room window directly across the campus toward the convent, though I doubt any of the sisters ever heard it or, if they did, were going to do anything about it. They'd learned to live with a lot being so close to a dorm full of college-aged women, and by the time I was there, men as well (started out as a college for women but even the dorm we were in was co-ed by the time we got there). BTW, I'm not Catholic---but Vonnie was.

@dantippett2676 5 ай бұрын

Only the good die young is a very old expression and as far as I know it was used when somebody young did die, because it was a way of saying that if God "recalled" this soul so early then that must have been a good soul indeed and he(she?) just wanted that person close again. Just a way of giving comfort to the loved ones who suffered the loss... and that's not all bad, not at all. But what Billy is saying, I think, is that if "only the good die young", then why are you trying so hard to be so good? Wouldn't you rather get a bit of fun out of your God-given life before you go??? Another great reaction to another great song. Cheers! ~Dan

But there was an op-ed piece written in our local newspaper about this song! The writer said the "Billy Joel song was a disgrace and a slap in the face to the Catholic Church." My mom asked me if I knew of the song and I of course said yes. She told that I shouldn't listen to it anymore! What??!!?? I didn't have the album, but now I wanted to go to the record store and buy it!!! And I did, a couple of months later!

I grew up Catholic and my family is still very Catholic. I went to Catholic school. It was a blast. Interestingly, Catholics have no problem with smoking (when I was young), drinking, or gambling. It's just sexual activity they got really uptight about because sex was only considered ok to procreate. At least that's how I remember it. My grandfather cut my grandmother off regarding sex after 4 children and her still refusing to use birth control....because it was a sin. She sure could drink though

@tkhorn5087 5 ай бұрын

I always took the "only the good die young" line to mean that those who followed their teachings during childhood to live in a manner considered "good", don't actually get a chance to really experience their life. Therefore, they "died" young.

Britt, this band was great for Billy. His Whistle Stop performances were amazing. Each one! Everybody Loves You Now is a rip roaring fun tune! One he did write for someone in his life...... His next band was great too. The one with which he performs most routinely of late is good. He makes them good. But Cannata and Liberty, then Rivera and his guitarists (Brown, Javors and Stegmeyer were brilliant.) And yes, growing up in the 70's (and I count glass houses as a 70's album since its release was early N March '80,) in a very Catholic household, this song was not played. Btw skipping a song on an old Pos turntable was no easy feet back then. Great Reaction!! Your instinct for music is awesome!

I do remember some girls that had extremely strict, religious parents and they really didn't get to experience much growing up. Not surprisingly, some of them also got pretty wild when they turned 18 or so. Like you say, it is not so much the religion as it is the parents who take it to the extreme and keep their kids from experiencing life. I was raised in a Catholic family (and neighborhood with a Church down the street), but we were not sheltered like that and it turned out good for most.

Hi Britt, love hearing I love your reactions. I am very happy that you have discovered the greatness of Billy Joel. When I was a little kid I liked his songs but when I became old enough to fall in love, his songs made way more sense. "She's Always a Woman, For the Longest Time", and "I Like You Just the Way You Are" among other songs he wrote, became the anthem of my being in love. His song "And So It Goes" became the song I listened to when my Heart Broke. I think you would enjoy listening to Billy Joel's "New York State of Mind". I think it has if not almost become as iconic for New York as when Sinatra sang "New York, New York". Thanks again for your videos. Oh and congratulations to you and yours for the birth of your baby.

My first year of university I lived in a residence run by the nuns of St Martha's. On the 4th floor. No men past the lobby. It was 1979 two years after The Stranger was released the theme song for our floor was Only the Good Die Young. And I have fond memories of the only Italian restaurant in town-the Venice. Billy Joel's songs always take me back there.

I dont know about some of these suggestions. Get to them all, for sure. But, first diving into his catalog I beg you to spend much more time in the 70's before moving on! So many fantastic hits and deep cuts. The Stranger, Anthony's Song, Vienna, Get it Right the First Time, Honesty, Zanzibar, Stiletto, Rosalinda's Eyes, Half a Mile Away... And that's just from 1977-78! Billy is an icon.
