In the introduction to this song in a more recent concert, Billy said it's misoginistic but that doesn't mean he didn't know someone like this. I find the images in this song to be wonderful metaphors for all difficult or complicated relationships. How about you?

Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel in Concert for Obama
The Rocky Mountain News (via talkleft.com) reports that a fundraising concert took place led by two of the biggest names in music.
Obama also offered a new explanation for his decision to seek the White House.
"I was sitting offstage with (his wife) Michelle, and I ... said, 'Honey, the reason I'm running for president is I can't be Bruce Springsteen. I can't be Billy Joel,'" Obama said.
Much of the talk was about not getting overconfident. The CNN report is all about the warnings Obama has issued to his supporters.
Sen. Barack Obama cautioned supporters Thursday against becoming complacent during the final days leading up to the election, noting he lost the New Hampshire primary despite a lead in the polls.
What's your opinion? Is it possible for the "Democrats to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory" again? I'm sticking with my original prediction: Obama by a landslide.
