Billy Joel

Billy Joel
I actually wrote the song first as well, it's 9 o'clock on a Saturday. That bit. Then I said, You know what? It needs some kind of an introduction to kind of set the mood and set the flavor.

Billy Joel
Hot funk, cold punk, even if it's old junk, it's still rock and roll to me.
Billy Joel
Move to California - my first impression of the Wild West.
Billy Joel
It was so easy living day by day Out of touch with the rhythm and blues But now I need a little give and take The New York Times, The Daily News.
Billy Joel
I could walk away from anyone I ever knew, but I can't walk away from you.
Billy Joel
And the only people I fear are those who never have doubts... Save us all from arrogant men, and all the causes they're for.
Billy Joel
