    The song is originally from 1972 or smthg and was actually his breakthrough song. It is entirely autobiographical, all the people are real, the „waitress who’s practicing politics“ even was his first wife. The video was shot later in the early eighties, when he was already famous (and it is a cinematography masterpiece on its own.)

    When I was in high school, we had a student smoking lounge. You could smoke even in the hospital. Funny thing is, now that tell us how bad it was for us and that we were really stupid for smoking,,,,, but every other commercial on tv told us these things were good for our nerves and healthy for us. The same people who got us hooked now make fun of us. Giving up smoking took every ounce of strength I could muster. Smoked for 60 some years

      My Great Grandmother was a nurse(she never smoked)but practically everyone smoked including ppl with lung conditions. And you're right doctors, nurses, families, smoked in the lounge.
      My Great Grandmother was always checking her white cotton gloves because all women wore them along with a matching hat before she put them on and then was careful to remove any ash on them.

    Speaking of smoking indoors, when I was 15 and living in the UK, I went to the movies with two of my friends who smoked, and I sat between them. The girl sitting in front of me had her hair teased up in a bouffant style, with a lot of hair spray. When my friend on the left leaned in to get a light from my other friend, they lit her hair on fire. It didn't flare up, luckily, but burned like little sparklers, and smelled awful. We all three were blowing on it, when she turned around, glared at me and said, "I suppose you think that's funny".

I quit smoking in 2004 and even when I was a smoker I never smoked in my home and didn’t want to sit in a smoking section at a restaurant. I remember as a little kid that they had smoking sections on a plane, which was always was funny to me since you’re all trapped in the same tin can so it’s not like the smoke isn’t going throughout the rest of the plane. So glad we don’t deal with that anymore.

    Checkout Only the Good Die Young that song was my life theme back in my 20's and 30's. My favorite line from that song was, "I'd rather laugh with the sinners than die with the saints. The sinners are much more fun." After we ordered at a restaurant back in the day, we'd either time our food getting to our table with the time it took to finish a smoke or get tired of waiting for it to come and just about the time you were about to light one the food would arrive. On every one of my birthdays since I can remember my mom would tell me the story about while in her hospital room waiting having contractions and about ready to give birth to me, she would be having my grandma lighting cigs one after the other for her and grandma didn't smoke. My grandma told me that after I was delivered, she went home from the hospital and had a nicotine headache for the rest of the day.

I couldn’t deal with smoke while eating, but I had no problem going into nightclubs where you couldn’t see 2 feet in front of you. It looks like they’re running a heavy fog machine.🥳😂

      Smoked in the smoking room on the Labour ward in hospital while in Labour with first child, 1994. This was Ireland back then. We were are mad as hell when in 2004 we became the first country to ban smoking in indoor places. Wasn't long before we became used to being able to breathe inside, especially in pubs. I can still see some old pubs here that no matter how many times they've painted the walls the tar still breaks through the paint.

    One of the greatest songs ever written. Billy is incredible and this song is just one of those that is timeless and most people can relate to the feeling of the scene and images he sings about. You know a song is well written when the song conjures up images in your mind of the story being told.

    I remember being a little kid & hearing Billy Joel for the 1st time. He was such a massive influence on me. I was learning to play piano & I felt like all the cool kids were learning guitar. Discovering Billy Joel was a revelation & helped me appreciate that you could be a successful musician regardless of instrument as long as you put in the work & we’re determined. I think he was probably my initial reason for pursuing music as a career. You should check out his USSR Tour. It was ground-breaking because at the time it was such a huge deal for an American musician to tour in the Soviet Union. I admired him a lot for that too. Great reaction Kris to a great song. xx

    "Goodnight Saigon" is an amazing gut punch of a song from Billy. From the helicopter blades cutting into the piano to the restrained frustration building at the end of the song, goosebumps
    For a REALLY cool throw back to a time even before Billy Joel "The Longest Time" is an absolutely beautiful in a deeply nostalgic way

    There's a concert he did where he did Piano Man, where he sings, plays the piano, AND also plays the harmonica on a holder around his neck. He is so immensely talented. Try his video of "Keeping the Faith." Constant references to growing up back in the day. So fun!

    Billy Joel is so great that other great performers look up to him. One of Garth Brooks' biggest hits - "Shameless" - was written by Billy Joel. The amazing Chris Stapleton performed Shameless in a Garth Brooks tribute concert and brought Garth to tears. Such is the power of Billy Joel's songwriting. Billy Joel's song "The Downeaster Alexa" (great song) is named for his daughter with supermodel Christie Brinkley, who makes an appearance in the video for "Uptown Girl".

    I'm not trying to comment on every video, however you just reminded me of how well you can sing as well. You've got some major talent, and sometimes it seems that your the glue to any collaboration you do based on your wide range of skills. It's really cool for me to get to see this youtube thing for you to start up, because your doing something we all appreciate. Your talking about influences and how music is so powerful regardless of the genre. There are a lot of great stories out there, and the most accessible ones are in music. Appreciate what your doing.

    i love that you are doing the classics. This is what I grew up on. Never checked out rap/hip hop til I saw a Tom MacDonald vid. That introduced me to others, Like ACal, Jelly Roll, etc. That is also how I found out about you. So I'm about to go down the Krizz rabbit hole.

      Krizz tracks I dig... Unstable, For Your Loving, Willing To Smoke with Rittz, Girls Like That, Areola, songs with Colt Ford. Any Krizz from the Strange Music days is fire. I've seen Tech, Krizz and Kutt together on stage like 8 times. Love that shit. Also, if you like metal and hip hop together, check out Backwordz and Reddstar. I'm stuck on their song Do It Again. Great bands.

    Canadian here in Toronto, I'm old enough to remember when we could smoke in the office at work, bars, clubs, restaurants, every darn place. Then in about 2009, no smoking inside public spaces and we had to stand 9 metres away from the door (s) when we went outside to smoke...we still have to, to this day, it's the law!!!

    I have a friend who is a novelist. I printed out the lyrics to this and gave them to him as an example of how few words it takes to write a great story. He was impressed.

    I remember when the pubs allowed smoking.
    When I was 17yrs old, I bartended at an Irish Pub, (the old Sod) and anytime this song came on, you couldn’t hear it over everyone singing along. It would always give me goosebumps.
    You just brought back a flood of old memories.
    The smoke would kill my eyes, so after every shift I’d have to used Visine eye drops. But every time I got pulled over, (I drove like an idiot back then) the cops would think it’s because I smoked weed and would always search my car. 😂

    Billy Joel composed all his music. He trained as a trained as a classical pianist.
    He was in contract talk and couldn't perform under Billy Joel. So, he played at a piano bar under Bill something. Then he wrote the whole song Pianoman about the experience.
