1. ... I REALLY want to make fun of you for it...
but I just can't. He's too damn catchy, and unlike most other pop artists who've gotten popular by being 'catchy', he's actually GOOD. :P

2. I won't make fun.
Billy Joel is a solid pop writer and singer, despite taking a cheesey turn in the 80's.

The fact that his music actually had melodies, harmony, and structure makes him sound like Mozart compared to some pop music on the radio now.

Some more..

4. If I could be guaranteed to NEVER have to listen to
"Scenes from an Italian Restaurant" on a gay-bar jukebox again, I would be a happy little camper.

That being said, I like lots of his other stuff. I used to sing my little boy to sleep with this sing when he was a baby:

The anthem of my reckless youth. I even visited Boston's "Combat Zone" as a sailor..
