tardisnare asked: You commented on how Joel has ever said "I made this song for myself". I know you meant it more towards the song "New York State of Mind", but he has said that he makes most of his songs for himself. I cannot link you directly here, but if you go to youtube and type "Billy Joel - 52nd Street". It's on his VEVO. I dunno if that gives you any insight or anything, but I hope that gives you a bit of closure. Thanks for making this blog, I think it's wonderful!
Thank you, you are very kind. I appreciate the tip on the video I will check it out. I was referring specifically to “New York State of Mind” but I think the sentiment probably applies to a number of songs Billy Joel has written.
