We strictly do 80's Doo-Wop Joel, Buddy.

It's the fucking Catalina wine mixer.

Early '80s Joel Doo-Wop was the best Joel. I personally found this River of dreams album a little bit nauseating.

'80s Doo-wop Billy Joel sucks!

Gail Gergich did that?

If you've seen Gerry's paintings you can see that they share somethings in common.

I remembered when they quietly divorced. She was asked what caused it in one interview and just answered:

"Honesty is such a lonely word."

I was laughing about how savage it was to use a musician's lyrics against him.

Other than the Rolling Stone Top Pick, the cover (which has the look of a “naive” painting) does not seem to have received recognition as a top album cover. What were some of the better-known covers from that era that have stood the test of time?

'Use Your Illusion I', 'In Utero' or 'The Downward Spiral' would get my vote

Are you aware that the Use Your Illusion album cover art is just a small portion of a larger classical painting?

Christie Brinkley; Katie Lee… dude has had a good run of ladies.

Don't forget his affair with Elle Macpherson. For a trollish little man with a drinking problem, Joel has done amazingly well.

For a pop superstar with more money than many small cities, he's done OK.

Secret is to be rich. But he is a tremendous musical talent.

John Mayer has the record for most celebrities banged by a male artist.

Another reason why billy will always be an idiot.

Hired Gun... great documentary... but like 1/4 of it was dedicated to outing Billy Joel as a complete prick

On the bright side, Bill and Liberty did reconcile a year or so ago.

The video for river of dreams was filmed not too far from me. Portland/Middletown CT represent!

TIL Billy Joel's 1993 album River of Dreams' cover is a painting by his then-wife Christie Brinkley. Rolling Stone later gave Brinkley the Top Picks award for "The Best Album Cover of the Year."
