With Billy Joel, however, you can't corner him into a category or say that his songs sound the same because they don't. One thing I didn't know about him-his manager, who was his ex-wife's brother, mismanaged his accounts to the point where Billy lost 90 million dollars! A staggering figure.Īnother observation about Joel: Most artists, even though the songs are different, they sound similiar. To use the analogy, he gets knocked down and just keeps getting up again. I'm struck by how many times he has bounced back from adversity (you know he started out as a boxer a pretty good one actually, going 22-4). I had just watched the Biography feature on him last night. However.this morning I heard "My Life" by Billy Joel. The two greatest decades without question are the 60's and 70's, when you go out to the 50's or up to the 80's, you lose a lot of quality. They used to play great songs from the 60's and 70's and I'm a little perturbed that they recently switched to 70's and 80's. I listen to 107.1 K-Hits (KTHI) in Boise. As time goes by, you'll probably be able to pick up on songs or artists that I don't like and those that I do. On this blog, I'll try to be as unbiased as possible but let's face it, we all have our own favorites and opinions and a blog would be pretty bland without giving some idea of what music I like. As I've said before, I try to be open as far as my musical tastes although it's very hard me to like rap, hard rock that doesn't have a melody and twangy country.
