It seems that I&#8217;m pretty up to date on everything from the early 60&#8217;s to today.<br \/>\nSince I have never seen the Patron Saint of LI in person, I bought 4 tickets to see him at MSG in February.  I just know <em>way too many<\/em> of his songs to not have seen him live.  The first 7 shows sold out so they added an 8th. He&#8217;s giving Mr. NJ (the Boss) a run for his money (in terms of the number of &#8220;hometown&#8221; shows played in a month) but I think Bruce&#8217;s record run of 14 sold out Brendon Byrne Arena shows is still safe.  So far its only Jessie and I going.  Make a good case as to why you should get the other 2 tickets and we&#8217;ll talk&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mr. Long Island Billy Joel&#8217;s song &#8220;We Didn&#8217;t Start The Fire,&#8221; has been put into a flash movie (with appropriate images appearing in sync with the tune) by Ye Li, who I assume based on the movie URL is or was a student at the University of Chicago.
