Billy Joel has entered a rehab clinic for alcohol abuse. Personally, I think he just couldn't keep up with with his cutie patootie young wife (who is 31 years younger than him). She'd wear out any old fart. Billy Joel: a true American hero*.
*Disregarding "River of Dreams" and all other musical works thereafter.

OK I finally got logged in. Joel's work has suffered since the aforementioned album, but I've known he has had some type of substance abuse problem since he's wrecked his car the past three or four times. There had to be something behind those accidents...I blame Christy.
By Christy I of course meant his former wife, not the poster above me :)
Christy - No need to be ashamed of liking Joel. I'm out of the closet and flaming with regards to my enjoyment of his pre-River of Dreams work.
spydrz - That's what he gets for chasing uptown girls.
My knowledge of his catalog doesn't go much deeper than his greatest hits (although I have heard my siblings' copies of The Stranger, Stormfront, and Glass Houses in their entirety). I've gotta say the titular song of this post is my current fave. (That'd be "Scenes From an Italian Restaurant" to the Joel illiterate)
"Anthony's Song" is also a classic.
