Wilfrid Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Not really a Billy Joel fan but the Paumgarten profile is really funny, and interesting too--up there with Lahr's Pacino piece a few weeks ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

joethefoodie Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I think Joe's having a heart attack. It's funny because a lot of the women I know from Long Island love Billy Joel. And all the guys I know from Long Island, ummmm, don't. One night when a bunch of people were over and getting rather drunk, Sig Eater decided to play some Billy. That was the end of the party. Of course, how can you not like a guy who was married to Christie Brinkley and has always been such a good driver...kidding. In his dotage, he's not so bad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Daisy Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I'll no doubt read the piece but I must say that Billy Joel's music sends me right up the wall. I really loathe it. Its ubiquity (as in I, Not A Fan, got all the jokey references above) has no doubt contributed to my loathing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Anthony Bonner Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 My dislike of Billy Joel got me the only true fame I've ever experienced in my life. Such self-loathing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Believe me, quite the opposite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lex Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 My dislike of Billy Joel got me the only true fame I've ever experienced in my life. And yet you're the guy who says how much he likes pop vs rock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 It's not the pop. It's the combination of self-pity and self-importance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joethefoodie Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 That act of true fame? Were you carrying an advanced copy of the Billy Joel biography the night of the infamous (Le Philosophe?) book-slamming incident? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
