"I was just making sure i didn't break the piano"
"Oh, it doesn't matter"
LOL
This brilliant, spontaneous, culturally sensitive response flows effortlessly! BJ, you just rated higher in my estimation, if that is even possible!
I completely agree with you Billy.
From my experience in travel abroad, I am certain there are loving people in every country, but there is also a small percentage of people who are acting negatively upon others. Creating situations which test humans by depriving basic needs will always bring forth a lower pack mentality, so we all should be mindful to not enable this. With more efficient systems of production, new science and technology, perhaps we have come to a point in global history where the few who lack the 'wealth of compassion and kindness for others' will no longer be able to "pull the wool over the eyes of a majority of people on this little blue dot in space. Sociopaths should never again be allowed positions of leadership in business, politics or the military. There are many other ways to solved problems of inequality and scarcity... of soul. Big Love 2 U!
I live in the Chicago area, and at times visitors ask if Capone, or his men, are still running Chicago
Are you saying he doesn’t?
/s
@@danman6123 nope sadly the wanna be gangsters think they run the city.
Very well thought out answer and historical prospective along with thoughts on how to fix things for the future.
Ach der Romantischer 'Sturm🌀 und Drang'🔥🇩🇪unsterblich🇩🇪🔥
I thought he was starting Miami 2017 (See the Lights Go Out On Broadway) there for a moment.
Interesting to listen to that almost 30 years after. When he was first time there in the 1970s lots of people from war generation were still alive. Today most have perished, so there is a completely different atmosphere, but times are still complicated and the past is still powerful. A song like Leningrad sounds sadly like from other century, but there is nothing wrong with it nevertheless. We might think those 1990s were better times, but the wars in former Yugoslavia were ongoing and there was lot's of horrors as well.
He should have mentioned that when the Wall came down, Americans were glued to their TV sets watching it happen live and cheering - in their homes - just as much as the Germans.
We were all glad it was over, let's leave it at that.
How as a musician, have I not really come across Billy Joel, the man, his thoughts and his music before now? Yes, I was in a band in 1980 that played 'It's still rock' n roll to me', but I never heard an album by him? I just saw part of his Madison Square Garden concert last month (Sept 2022) and was surprised when he paid homage to the UK, via playing 'Rule Brittannia' and a photo of Queen Elizabeth II came up. I was surprised because I don't think foreigners understand what the monarchy represents for a lot of us in the UK. For me it represents globalism, the Rothschildes and the status quo. What the rest of the world think is that the whole UK was in mourning, simply because that's what the 'bought and paid for' media and politicians want to get across. Billy should look into 'mass formation' which is what the German people suffered under Hitler and what the WHOLE world has just suffered and is still suffering with the idea that there was a real 'pandemic'. I know his answer to this question was a lifetime ago, but this question is still pertinent to so many areas of life today. Think of all the great doctors and health workers that have been silenced by an evil that has taken hold over many people for the last two and a half years.
He knows dude his grandfather left germany because of hitler after many of his distant relatives were killed by the Nazis .....
Well, it's impossible to leave a critical comment here. So all I'll say is that I hope that Joel knows at least what we are celebrating today. Never forget, Billy, no matter what.
What day was "today"? And what were you celebrating?
@@dartharagon9129 It was the Holocaust day in Israel and ironically, Joel said what he said in Nuremberg...
@@harel1096 Said what? I still have no idea what you are actually talking about. I am German myself and in Germany this all still is an incredbily sensitive Topic, everyone js very mindfull about it, every German Student must visit a Concentration Camp once with the school, the time between 1933 and 1945 is spoken about in veeery great detail in our history classes and the German take on all of it is that of course nobody today is guilty of anything that happened in that time, the people that are guilty are basically all already dead, but we as Germans and as Europeans must never forget what happened, because as soon as you forget it may happen again, maybe not in Germany, maybe not in Europe, but anywhere. And while there is no guilt anymore there is a feeling of duty and responsibility, that we must work towards a world where things like the Holocaust can never happen again. Unfortunatly today that world is not yet a reality. Thats how most Germans and i myself feel about it. A part of our history that we (and anyone else) must never forget and work towards preventing it from happening anywehre on this earth again.
I’m Deutsch.
So I’m allowed to watch this video.
And there is Mozart, the Austrian.
Actually he was German, but worked in Austria. His parents came from Bavaria and he was born as and raised in Salzburg, which did not belong to Austria back then.
Though I luv him he's naturally a bit grouchy, isn't he?
Billy shouldn't change his accent. Too fake. Just be yourself.
This comment and, so far, 4 likes, means we have at least 5 speech-nazis in our midst. What's that about?
😄it happens involuntary because Billy Joel is a deep musical maestro. He hears and can mimic but it’s not on purpose
He wants to communicate.
I think in this example he’s trying to be clear and he’s trying to be “on the same level” as his audience
What accent are you talking about? I don't hear any accent.
