Just The Way You Are.

Zanzibar is a great song.

[Alas Babylon!]

I am an elderly man
Oh, yes I am
An elderly man

I know you don’t wanna hear what I say
I know the Boomers you keep turning away
But I’ve been there I’ve seen all their ways

Don’t believe what the media says

[HYPOCRACY]

“Uptown Girl”.

Too soon?

Gosh, more than I can count.

Vienna
Downeaster Alexa
Goodnight Saigon
Keeping the Faith
You’re My Home
The Stranger
Scenes from an Italian Restaurant

However if I never heard Piano Man again, I’d be fine with it.

I read that once... He’s got a few songs that he stopped playing while on tour.

Jethro Tull hated playing Locomotive Breath after a few decades...

I guess it happens.

Big deal...my shoes are older than that!

Lemmy got tired of “Ace Of Spades”, so he would sing “Eight of Spades” just to see if anyone would notice.

Don’t miss his new (2024) single:

Light as the Breeze. Not actually my favorite song of his, but it’s always funny to see someone hear the lyrics for the first time and then the look they get when they realize what he’s talking about.

[Rainbow Rising]

I like a lot of his songs. My favorites are Pressure, Big Shot, Movin’ Out, and We Didn’t Start The Fire. If those songs come on the radio, I will sing along with them. I hate Piano Man. That cheesy harmonica just grates on my nerves. It’s probably only Billy Joel song that I dislike.

[Rainbow Rising]

I forgot about Zanzibar! I agree, it’s a great song.

none of the above

[Dead Corpse]

LOL... Always liked March or Die and Eat the Rich better.

Makes you wonder about Meatloaf though... “Pair of Dice on the Dashboard Right...” It could have happened. :-)
