Title: Billy Joel
Post by: snapple936 on October 29, 2003, 07:54:13 pm: Billy Joel is one of my favorite artists of all time. not only is he an amazing lyricist, he also plays a mean piano and composes brilliantly. i have enjoyed his music since i was about two years old.

My favorite songs by billy are "only the good die young", "and so it goes", "river of dreams" and "lullaby". if you are interested, i advise you to dl these songs.

his music is classic.

i had the opportunity of seeing elton john and billy joel in hartford on feb 9th, 2001. it was the most amazing concert of my life. :D i actually started crying when billy came on stage. it was a once in a lifetime experience!

check out billy joel if you want some truly amazing music...

and he's hott too, even though he's old ;-)

Yeah Alecs - that would totally rock! Just imagine Vanessa singing verse 2:
Quote
I've seen all the movie stars
In their fancy cars and their limousines
Been high in the Rockies under the evergreens
But I know what I'm needing
And I don't want to waste more time
I'm in a New York state of mind
