I'm glad! I heard it today in my work's cafeteria and it immediatly reminded me of my mom. It was because of this song that I wrote this post.

Is it really bad that I have *ALL* of Billy Joel's albums? I know I've just lost a lot of goth points by admitting that, but I absolutely love him. He's the best 'pop' songwriter I can think of.

Wow! I'm really surprised! :)

Is it because he was the soundtrack to your childhood, because of your parents, or because you simply like the music? I really like some of his songs, but there are others that grate on me -- though I have to confess that I hardly know his stuff.

I found him quite late in life actually.. Never really listened to him as a child, nor did my parents. I discovered "52nd Street" in a second hand shop when I was about 16 and liked the cover. Thought he looked sleazy in his cheap suit and afro, so figured it might be a good listen. It was. I never looked back!

I'm curious now... I really can't imagine what his records must sound like!
