Youre not wrong but that song has wild eyed cocaine energy in its dna. I was always slightly freaked out by a bunch of Joel bangers as a kid in the 80s. Cinema references these tracks because they are already full of the latent energy that a scene needs and not the other way arnd

I have no hate for the zoomers but this constant negativity and “feeling bad vibes” over such benign things doesn’t sound very healthy. Maybe covid + unending internet discourse gave them paranoia https://t.co/aCWiojDwXk

Do you know who Christy Brinkley is? Do you know what the terms “maxing out” or “she’s out of your league” mean in relationships? Hence the lyrics to Billy Joel’s love song “Uptown Girl”

I will say this, the first time I heard Alice’s restaurant was in a taxi home from a night out as a drunken young pup, and as it rolled into minute 16 I thought I was losing my fucking mind, like I really felt like I was dying https://t.co/B50GuONKbh
