I adore Coltrane. Let me say that first.
but Billy Joel, for some odd reason, just holds an extremely special place in my heart. He *is* my piano man."Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government.

Captain Jack
Piano Man Released: 1973
Saturday night and you're still hangin' around
You're tired of livin' in your one horse town
You'd like to find a little hole in the ground for a while
So you go to the village in your tie-dye jeans
And you stare at the junkies and the closet queens
It's like some pornographic magazine, and you smile
But Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push 'n' you'll be smilin'
Oh yeah, yeah
Your sister's gone out, she's on a date
And you just sit at home and masturbate
Your phone is gonna ring soon,
But you just can't wait, for that call
So you stand on the corner in your new English clothes
And you look so polished from your hair down to your toes
But still your fingers gonna pick your nose, after all
But Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push 'n' you'll be smilin'
Oh yeah, yeah
So you decide to take a holiday
You got your tape deck and your brand new Chevrolet
Ah, but there's no place to go anyway and what for
You've got everything, but nothin's cool
They just found your father in the swimming pool
And you guess you won't be going back to school anymore
But Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push 'n' you'll be smilin'
La da, da
Oh yeah, yeah
So you play your albums and you smoke your pot
And you meet your girlfriend in the parking lot
Oh, but still you're aching for the things you haven't got,
What went wrong
And if you can't understand why your world is so dead
And why you've got to keep in style and feed your head
Well, you're twenty one and still you mother makes your bed
And that's too long
But Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push 'n' you'll be smilin'
Yeah, Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Yeah, Captain Jack will get you by tonightI agree with Davhaf.....Kaiser March 9,2004

Mick Jagger is in better shape than far too many NBA players. It's up in the air whether the same can be said of Keith Richards.

I love Coltrane...but Billy Joel is one of my all-time favorites. He kept coming out with good stuff for 25 years and he didn't hang on by producing new albums after the well ran dry. Instead, he kept touring by playing the songs that made everyone love him in the first place.
The first time I went to Kiel/Savvis Center was for a Billy Joel concert in late 1994. I saw him again in 2000 at the Igloo in Pittsburgh. If he goes on tour again anytime soon, I'll definitely attend.

Neb is that your picture on your avatar?

BTW, are you related to the other McCracken brothers? If so, my condolences.
And I wasn't insinuating that you WERE naked in that picture, or a cam ho or anything. I was just kinda hoping you were.Official Lounge Sponsor of lasvegasreb and his shoes.
