“uptown girl…she’s been living in her uptown world…”
(off 1983 billy joel album “an innocent man”)
(“william martin “billy” joel” (born ‘9 may 1949’) is an american ‘pianist’ / ‘singer-songwriter’ / ‘composer’)
(write a birthday song for billy joel!)
(“billy joel’s birthday”)
(as sung in a duet of chuck klosterman and ken tucker)
(bridging the generational gap)
(“ode to bobby joe”)
(lure joel in with flattery)
(then scold him for missing notes)
(but he openly admits to having decreased vocal range)
(so it wouldn’t really hurt him to miss notes)
(he’s performing as a gift to the fans)
(and putting himself at risk of embarrassment)
(paul just wants to spread the gospel of the beatles until he dies)
(killed like john in his old age?)
(as a leftover from the manson klan gets a beating via olivia harrison as george hacks and coughs in the kitchen)
(and ringo eats a ‘midnight breakfast’
(jessie and the ‘midnight snackers’)
(‘we be crazy crackers!’)
(“this uh sounds bonkers!”)
(since releasing his first hit song, “Piano Man”, in 1973, Joel has become the sixth best-selling recording artist and the third best-selling solo artist in the United States)
(his compilation album Greatest Hits Vol. 1 & 2 is one of the best-selling albums in the US)
(“joel” had Top 40 hits in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, achieving 33 Top 40 hits in the US, all of which he wrote himself)
(he is also a 6-time “grammy award” winner who has been nominated for 23 “grammy awards”)
(he has sold more than 150 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling artists of all time)
(“joel” was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame (1992), the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (1999), and the “Long Island Music Hall of Fame” (2006))
(in 2001, Joel received the Johnny Mercer Award from the “songwriters hall of fame”)
(in 2013, Joel received the Kennedy Center Honors, the nation’s highest honor for influencing american culture through the arts)
(with the exception of the 2007 songs “All My Life” and “Christmas in Fallujah”, ‘joel’ stopped writing and releasing pop/rock material after 1993’s “river of dreams”)
(however, he continues to tour, and he plays songs from all eras of his solo career)
