This song shows Billy Joel's skills to the most, frantic music, electric lyrics, genius in an ambitious piano demo, voice ad hoc. Of course is the perfect show off of part of his Jekyll/Joel/Hyde/Martin personality full of up and downs. He gets so high (I'm a cosmopolitan sophisticate of culture and intelligence the culmination of technology and civilized experience) that you don't want to be around when he is going down.
But such enormous gifted talent is that way. Again: one day will come when Billy Joel will be put to altars. And many will say: I saw him first.
