I'm so glad you got to check that out. This is such an amazing song and I've heard it so many times since I first encountered it in high school I suppose, and yeah I never get tired of hearing it. Something just occurred to me. I don't know how you feel about the Blues, but listening to this with you, it suddenly made me realize - I bet you would love something like Robert Cray's song Phone Booth from the 1980s, from his iconic Bad Influence album. It's really a groovy track and it captures the Blues, and it's so damn smooth and really compels you to dance, but it's funny as well. It t is actually hilarious and yet still poignant. m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/frOUetSX17qbgqM.html&pp=ygUXcm9iZXJ0IGNyYXkgcGhvbmUgYm9vdGg%3D

Dude, both Billy Joel songs you’ve done are good, but relatively minor parts of his incredible catalogue. Check out Piano Man. New York State of Mind, Scenes From an Italian Restaurant, Vienna, Just the Way You Are, Always a Woman, Downeaster Alexa and Allentown just for starters. That would leave another couple dozen masterpieces for you to find on your own having become hooked on his genius.

This song alone wraps up so many disparate and seemingly disconnected feelings of growing up in an insanely accelerating modern world of shifting goals.That was the 70's. What now? SD's music was full of sunshine and hope, even through the eyes of a nihilistic opportunist . Fatalistic to the bitter end, but happy that this was some redemption for a loser. I think Donald and Walter documented the end of an era in society better than any novelist or non fiction writer could strive for.
