June 26, 2002 -- Piano man Billy Joel plans to check out of a chic rehab clinic today, his spokeswoman says.

"He's doing very well," said Claire Mercuri, his Columbia Records publicist.

Joel checked into the Silver Hill rehab center in New Canaan, Conn., on June 17 for a 10-day stay. The 10 days are up today.

I've never quite understood why these bastions of the left, who seem to 'have it all', can't handle life as well as the rest of us schmucks who have 'old fashioned' values and have to toil for our little crust of bread. Hmmmm could it be that the religion of liberalism doesn't teach you to handle every day problems? I have an aunt who is the same way, she married well, has a big house, cars, travels, goes to church with the Warners (NFL Rams), and yet since marrying she's been in the Betty Ford clinic 3 times. I guess they're right..money doesn't buy happiness, but neither does being a liberal.

She broke down in March 2001, after he sent her a photo of a $50,000 boat and a set of keys, but the reconciliation didn't last.

Well, there's the problem right there, it should at least have been a $250k boat - what did he think she was, a common streetwalker?

Joel's ex had been upset about his excessive drinking and about finding the singer in bed with another woman.

Heartless wench!
