William Martin Joel

Billy Joel! An embarrassing fellow, with seemingly endless resources of shameless enthusiasm. Not a bad role model, in the end.

[...]

You may be right, I may be crazy.
But I just might be the lunatic you're looking for..
Turn out the lights! Ooh, don't try to save me....

[...]

You've got your patch on
You've got your pride
But don't you know that only fools are satisfied
Dream on, but don't imagine it will all come true...

[...]

Once sea level dropped so very low,
different populations could not come and go.
That's when it happened,
different groups became adapted,
diverging slowly for the longest time.

[...]

and....Classics....Fantasies and Delusions keep the world spinning round.

[...] Slow down, you're doing fine
You can't be everything you wanna be before your time
although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight...tonight
Too bad, but it's the life that you lead,
you're so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need
though you can see when you're wrong, you can't always see when you're right.

Can't wait for the Randy Newman post!

I'm pushing for Neil Diamond.

Glass Houses was the first album I ever owned. It was given to me as a gift and I'd never heard of ol' BJ, or anybody else, for that matter. I loved it.

Um, I actually don't really like Randy Newman, even though he's a good lyricist, but his music usually annoys me. (But he did work on Peggy Lee's 'Is That All There Is?', which is something.) I would do post on RN if I got a note along the lines of "Yur my faave Dee-Jay, can I make a special request from a far-out fan?".

also note: Billy Joel does not play piano nor appear on 'Fantasies and Delusions', which I find strangely compelling.

I've been meaning to post Neil Diamond, unless I already have.

Neil Diamond!

"Money talks,
but it can't sing and dance,
and it can't walk."

Best lyrics ever.

LM and I should collaborate on a Diamond post. With sparkles.
