@ridgepatterson7692 8 лет назад

Yes. I've never really understood myself why Billy gets so much hate from music critics when (IMHO) he's one of the best singer-songwriters of all time. He shows that he can write a catchy pop tune, and he can also write sophisticated music in the vein of old jazz, hard rock, and classical music. He's one of the most prominent musical geniuses, and he deserves to be one of the best-selling artists of all time.

I agree 100%. In this case it was 100% baseball innuendo. I see it as a clever play on words regarding the game of baseball. For example the coach (her) would give the sign to go "steal" the base to the player on base (him). And he then mentions "she's gonna give the go ahead (coach telling player to steal base)... and the inning isn't over me (another ballball reference" for additional innuendos and to me that appears to be 100% consensual.

@johnnie2638 3 года назад

I listened to this album on cassette in a little village in Mexico called El Rosario back in the late 70s. I was just a moody teen back then and I'd made it a point to be extra bratty for being taken on vacation against my will. Forced to visit my maternal grandparents and having to endure hugs, kisses and authentic Mexican food.. I remember one night in particular outside their little house with no running water. A single light bulb in their makeshift kitchen that was wired from my grandpa's pickup truck! I sat on a fold out chair after dinner looking up at a beautiful, black star-filled sky as smoke wafted from the fire pit. I lay there determined to be morose but in fact I was enjoying every song on my Panasonic cassette player (extra batteries included). I was a recent Billy Joel convert as there was just something about his musical style that just grabbed me. Now, these decades later every time I hear a song from this album my thoughts immediately go back to that little house in the Mexican desert and that bratty teen jamming to cassettes under the stars.

Freddie Hubbard is probably my favourite trumpet player. Check out his stuff with Wayne shorter. Also, the first solo is a flugelhorn and the second is trumpet. It’s cool to hear the difference.

Just saw Billy Joel perform last night in Seattle. First heard him live in Philadelphia in 1973. He’s as great a performer today as ever! This song was in the 2.5 hour set. He has a great band. His voice has changed a bit over time but he still hit all the high notes. An American music classic and a class act!

@greggorup1006 3 года назад

Jazz legend Freddie Hubbard plays the incredible trumpet solos. And contrary to myth, that's not Freddie's horn Billy's holding on the cover. It was just an old beater laying around for prop.
