Guess how I celebrated my brother's bday tonight! That's right - I went to a concert on a school night. I would have been home at a semi decent hour if it weren't for the gateway's endless parking garage. Now, can you guess who we saw? The legendary billy joel! Sometimes q song would come on and i'd turn to my brother to ask billy really wrote it - some of his stuff is like folk songs - timeless. What a guy. Not only does he sing and play like the wind still, he's very entertaining and funny - plus he can twirl a microphone stand better than some drum majorette from the 60's with her baton. Being the holiday season he threw out a couple celebratory numbes and when the audience sang along to "hark the herald angels" he called us the motab. It was a night full of love and music.
