I do like the guy. I just don't like most of his music. I do think 5 or 6 of his songs are fantastic. One thing I really like about him is that he is out and about constantly, showing up at local events and seeming very much like a regular guy. One time my cousin sent me a text photo from his kid's little league game captioned "look who's here." I saw my cousin, but didn't even recognize Billy Joel standing next to him. All old Long Island guys look alike.
