    One of the first musicians I was into, circa 1981; first concert, 1989; my college column was bylined "the Angry Young Man." One of the greatest pop/rock musicians ever, a fantastic live act, & the true voice of a now-vanishing breed of New Yorkers.https://twitter.com/alysonfooter/status/1126578321586839552 …

    Happy 70th birthday to Billy Joel, whose music has brought immeasurable happiness to my life, and has also been a soulful comfort during some not so happy times. Vienna waits for you. pic.twitter.com/9fGs0nplri

        In & around NY always had a lot of 'types' by race, class, ethnicity, etc. But the white-ethnic, working-class/middle-class New Yorker with the accent & the attitude was still a big part of the city & suburbs in the 70s & 80s. And nobody embodied that like Billy Joel.

        It's easy to forget, listening to Billy Joel's music, that it is not actually that easy to write catchy pop-rock, over & over & over. But only a few others have done it as consistently, and fewer still did the words & music without a writing partner.

        And one of the last guys to sing a song that you could not only understand what he was saying, but also made to want to sing along.

        First album I bought with my own money was Joel’s “Storm Front.”

        I don't think i've met anyone who's ever really disliked Billy Joel.

        True. But the personality of the NY area has changed for good.
