Bound and Gagged by Dana Summers for October 21, 2022

How about Piano Man?

It must be nine o’clock on a Saturday.

Hum a few bars and I’ll try it. How about you do karaoke for me.

We’re all in the mood for a melody

How about “Only The Good Die Young,” “Big Shot,” and “An Innocent Man?”

It must be nine o’clock on a Saturday.

Don’t push him. He’s already under pressure.

They probably want a Streetlife Serenade….

We didn’t Start the Fire.

Talked to a man whose job was playing piano at a piano bar. He told me he was sick of getting requests for Billy Joel, especially “Piano Man”. It is almost like no one knows any other pop piano players.

That was before John Legend became famous but way after Neil Diamond, Barry Manilow and many more.

This scene begs for The Ballad of Billy the Kid!

Don’t shoot me!

Don’t shoot him. He’s just the piano player.

Pretty much just Mickey Gilley.

I love you just the way you are, cowboy

You mean Billy “The Kid” Joel?

Apologies to anyone who said that before me. I’m rushing through lunch to read all my Comix.

Our future is the Old West, again? No way Joe.

The guy who left Christy Brinkley? Nope.

They could buy tickets for his NYC concert in November and go right to the source.

Not Billy Joel, but, “Mamas, don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys.”
