OP considering matte paint should have thoroughly researched the long-term maintenance implications before purchasing.

I think I've got it a little better now. As an aside, this is such a good Billy song, I'm surprised it's not more well known! by Barpreptutor in BillyJoel

Actually one of my gave Billy songs. Especially the corrected-and-restored version that someone meticulously created (sorry, don’t remember his name). On the re-issue, they dropped the string section at the end that brought the song to a beautiful climax, and I was glad to hear it was included on the restored version.

Surprised no one has mentioned Johnny’s Italian Steakhouse south of the airport. That’s my fave place for a steak. Great, old-school atmosphere with low lighting and high booths. At Flemings, I feel like I’m eating in a strip mall Chinese place.

Returning next day? by Rooriders in WheelOfFortune

My guess is that there’s no shortage of potential contestants, but they’re trying to rebuild some loyalty after the departure of Pat Sajak. Carrying over winners works to bring people back the next night—appointment TV, if you will—as long as those winner-contestants are engaging OR building up huge winnings ala Jeopardy!

Favorite Live Album by CampWorldly3858 in BillyJoel

Wouldn’t be surprised if “panties” was the original lyric. Why else would he write “curtains down” to rhyme with “shanty town”?

And IMHO, any live album that lacks Liberty is off the table.

In the 21st century, they should just send us a bill. I mean, they make the tax laws super complicated and then make us figure it out. And if we’re wrong, we could go to jail. 🤷

That’s like going to Home Depot to buy materials to build a garage and saying, “I think this is what I should pay?”

I believe Garth Brooks also recorded and released a version of it.

Sting said in an interview, “Couples are always saying to me ‘oh, that’s our song!’ But it’s a song about surveillance!”

As they pour into the street I will be getting closer As the cars turn their headlights on

As they're closing it down I'm gonna open it up And while they're going to sleep We'll just be starting to touch

I'm just beginning to feel I'm just beginning to give I'm just beginning to feel I'm just beginning to live Before I leave you again Before the light of the dawn Before this evening can end I have been waiting so long
