Billy fuckin' Joel

The weird thing about Billy Joel is that all his songs just drip with disdain and contempt for their subjects. In Piano Man, he mocks a bunch of alcoholic failures. In Uptown Girl, he cruelly judges some high-society cooze. In Italian restaurant, he viciously cuts down a young couple who fall on tough times. I mean, maybe they really liked deep-pile carpet, and maybe the paintings from Sears were pleasing to the eye. We all can't afford gigantic mansions in the Hamptons, you know. Billy Joel is a deeply bitter and cynical guy, who just can't stand to see other people being happier than he is.

I've never considered that at all but you're 100% right.

He's apparently a cafe racer motorcycle enthusiast. He has a bunch of old Triumphs and Nortons and shit that would make the likes of Patrick S. Tomlinson blow a load.

Take a guy like Springsteen, who I don't really care for either, but who sings about a lot of the same kind of shit. He seems to have an affection and empathy for the dumb characters who populate his retarded little worlds. But Billy Joel just sneers at them all with contempt. He's such an angry little man, and no one seems to notice it.

Most people don't really pay attention to lyrics
