What if it's really great and they rock your socks off? If you're a person, all you'll lose is your socks, but if you actually are a sock, you'll disappear! Actually I guess this isn't much of a risk with Billy Joel. Isn’t it dangerous to take a sock to a rock concert? What if it’s really great and they rock your socks off?

If you live there, you might as well be in Queens. Though he does have a house out in the Hamptons now (which aren't the real LI either, but at least they're in Suffolk). And I'm told that when he sings "New York State of Mind" in concert on Long Island, after the line about "The New York Times, the Daily News," he adds "Newsday too," which is an el cheapo pander if I ever heard one because no one who has ever read Newsday could possibly miss it after leaving the area. I've only seen one Billy Joel video in my life, but I can't imagine any other being worse. This was the one for that song he did about teenage suicide, where he dresses in a black outfit and manifests himself out of nowhere to some teenager who is about to off himself and talks the kid out of it. Billy was about 50 at the time, and when I saw it, I thought, "Yeah, right, I'm sure you're the first guy today's 15-year-olds would take advice from." This was before he started driving drunk, or at least before he started getting caught. Billy Joel isn’t from Long Island, he’s from Nassau County. If you live there, you might as well be in Queens.
