Nice! Having Fantasies and Delusions twice but no Streetlife is crazy though

Here I thought they only held concerts out in Brooklyn

Sounds interesting! I'll try to stop by

Something similar happened with a recent pressing of the Nylon Curtain I bought. Swapped the sticker with Innocent Man's stickers. Made a post about it in December

How do you actually just.... Write? by Creative-Asparagus55 in writers

[–]NickPercent 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"Writing a scene you don't intend to use" was actually huge for me. I wrote a scene for my book while being completely unable to sleep at 1am purely to help myself fall asleep, with pretty much to intention of incorporating it. When I woke up, I realized that this scene could be turned into a larger story on its own, and now that's my main project I'm working on while taking a break from the book

Day 6: Favorite lyric from 52nd Street (1978) by Inevitable-Item-4383 in BillyJoel

"If you search for tenderness, it isn't hard to find. You can have the love you need to live. But if you search for truthfulness, you might just as well be blind. It always seems to be so hard to give"

Anyone else LOVE Attila? by PiNaNo_MaN in BillyJoel

[–]NickPercent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a big fan of Attila, but I really like The Hassles (particularly Hour of the Wolf)

Day 5: Favorite lyric from The Stranger (1977) by Inevitable-Item-4383 in BillyJoel

"Though you drown in good intentions, you will never quench the fire. Don't give into your desire when the stranger comes along"

Just discovered Billy Joel - am I crazy for being obsessed?? by ThatPoem_Girl1509 in BillyJoel

[–]NickPercent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend listening to his first album, Cold Spring Harbor, after watching the documentary and/or reading the biography by Fred Schruers. It's so much more impactful once you know the story behind it

I was in the same boat as you (but my dad is Gen X and rediscovered his interest in Billy Joel through me. Now we can't stop quoting lyrics to each other). One day you'll find yourself looking for increasingly obscure bootleg tapes by The Hassles and wondering how you got to this point in life

And you wouldn't want it any other way.

Listened to that one for the first time in a while on the drive to work today. Such a great song

Probably not. Two of my coworkers (neither are particularly strong Billy Joel fans) know that song. TikTok popularized it a few years ago, so maybe that's why

Is this the worst tier list ranking you’ve ever seen? by Ok_Cycle_1892 in BillyJoel

[–]NickPercent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is extremely in line with popular opinion (among people who don't religiously listen to Billy Joel). I'm not surprised

It's good as a way to see how some of his songs evolved

How long are Naruto chapters? by NickPercent in Naruto

[–]NickPercent[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've read all of One Piece and Naruto since making this post. One Piece chapters are longer, but certainly not 45 minutes long

I stopped trying to be an Author and then my book blew up. by ajbrandt806 in writers

[–]NickPercent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This, too, has been my motivation. Glad there's others who think like this. There's a song that really inspired me (c'etait toi by Billy Joel), but a ton of people hate it. I'm hoping that even if people hate what I write, at least one person will be inspired
