Billy Joel created lots and lots of great music.
He made a lot of money, his accountant absconded with almost all of it, then he made lots more. Things like that can take quite a lot of wind out of your sails...
A good American whom has ordered multiple custom boats from American craftsmen.
At every concert he olays Goodnight Saigonand has NamVets join him on the stage. He is a very skilled writer both of music and lyrics. While a lib, he mostly keeps it to himself and he has none of the phony baloney man of the people that Springsteen boasts. And it helps if you are from Long Island
And he was knocking socks with Elle MacPerson and Christie Brinkley.
