      @chris...9497 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Not exactly true.
      There was a point fairly early on where he got a lot of crap for being too "commercial"; I remember (& disagreed) when this was the opinion of the day about Billy Joel.
      Not long after, he released his song "The Entertainer", which lays out what the music business demands of musicians. I have to suspect this was his answer to that criticism and to his fans. I think he acquitted himself well in that song. But don't think he has 'never' had to justify or defend himself; he has, and he did a good job of it.
      Joel has always been aware & self-aware. He does not seem to have that many illusions about himself. I just now finished watching a 20min video he put out ("Building The Bridge") where he speaks to how he approached writing & recording his album "The Bridge". He says prior to this album he had not released anything for 3yrs, and he notes specifically that 3 years is a music career.
      In a business notorious for inflating egos, Joel seems to have remained a fairly humble man.

    Ate an awful lot of late night drive-in food
    Drank a lot of take home pay

In fact his interpretations are so spot on, I recall hearing 'Up Town Girl" for the first time off of some AM radio station, and was so pleased that Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons were making a comeback!! LO and behold when the DJ announced it was Billy Joel, I was flabbergasted!!!
