This very song represents my biggest fears about Billy Joel.
I know his music 30 years ago, he raised me, he went with me to the army, then to the University, he went together with me through two marriages, he left the house with me after two divorces, he assisted when my father died, and first he was a single vinyl, then a cassette, he was in LP vinyl and laser disc. He was a video beta (damn!) and VHS , he's been CD and MP3 now he's in my IPOD. And all through the years I have been expecting some bad news about his up and downs. I knew he had soul problems for this simple song. Nobody can do such lyrics if he or she hasn't been there close to the borderline. Later I've come across some stories about him I don't care about. I won't bring here anymore.
And I always dared to think we both would have been happier if we had ever crossed our ways. I dare to. He's a friend, in fact I know him longer than many of my actual friends...
