which was inspired by letters the Piano Man received from soldiers in Iraq.

Are there really a lot of soldiers who take the time to write letters to Billy Joel? Why do any?!

"Christmas in Fallujah" went on sale Tuesday on Apple Inc.'s iTunes. Net proceeds will be donated to Homes for Our Troops, which builds homes for severely wounded veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan.

Well that’s nice. Hope the song doesn’t suck too bad. It’s been a LONG while since Billy wrote anything worth hearing.

Eeeeeeeewwwww! Billy Joel? I can't stand his music. And it's not a generational thing, I'm about his age, I think.

Probably the same “soldiers” who used their mom’s credit card to send $20.00 to Ron Paul and checked off “military.”
