He’s a lib, but he has a policy of not getting political on stage. He even says, “Someone works hard to earn money and spends some of it on my show, why should they get attacked by me?” He sometimes slips and says something political, but he has an admirable approach.

I guess his policy of not getting political is slipping. He needs to get back on track.

"According to TMZ, the burglars got in by breaking a glass door."

Doesn't seem like such a cool thing now, does it Billy Boy?

Net worth of $225 million, and he can’t be bothered to have decent security at his house?!

"Being a liberal, why does he want us to live in gun free zones and but his house isn’t? Its all good rhetoric until it happens to him."

Because like most liberals, he's bipolar. His song, "The Downeaster Alexa," is at least in part about government regulations (and other factors) that were killing the small family-owned fishing operations, so while he sang about oppressive government killing, "the little guy," he continued to endorse oppressive government politicians.

I believe I’ve passed the age of consciousness and righteous rage
I found that just surviving was a noble fight
I once believed in causes too
I had my pointless point of view
And life went on no matter who was wrong or right

by projecting, if he does injure someone it is premeditated?

Those that broke in were probably looking for any new songs Billy Joel has as he hasn’t had any since the early 90’s.

Billy is trying to be a badass.

You had to be a big shot, didn't you.

“Get off my lawn!”

Joel figures if Chucky Cheese can talk tough, any Brooklyn boy can do it!

It’s either sadness or euphoria.

All well and good but has he joined the NRA, yet? Will he become conservative enough to vote for Trump in November? Asking for a friend.

[Billy Joel may be right, and I won’t even ask him why. Nice that he is no longer in a New York state of mind and has started to tell them about gun ownership. As he says, it’s his life and the lefties can leave us alone. It’s not a matter of trust; self defense is a constitutional and human right. And there’s no better way to handle pressure than to defend the innocent and make sure only the bad die young.]


Good stuff. That was a pretty good riff off his songs and lyrics.
