Long Island's Favorite Rockin', Rollin Son - Billy Joel

TV has been brutal, lately. Literally. Brutal. Just can't seem to tolerate "Thrones" or "24" and the beyond-normal-imagination violence. So, when PBS aired "A Matter Of Trust - The Bridge To Russia" as their fundraiser, the other night, I found immense relief. Billy in his prime. Wow. Lucky for us that he chose to be a musician instead of a gymnast. Sure, we've seen Billy live multiple times since the nineties. And he has always mustered up wild and crazy. But the 1987 antics for the Moscow crowd redefined stage presence!





Best parts of watching on PBS were snippets of the accompanying interview - Billy now. Nothing to sneeze at, with his still wildly popular shows and current long-term gig at the Garden. Such an intelligent man. It's no wonder his lyrics go deep…

Alternative, uninterrupted watching can be done on Showtime, as well… it's a must-see event…

Trust me! You'll love him. Long Island girls never tell a lie.
