At a music festival this weekend there was a question whether this back on the booze permanent A lister was going to be able to perform. An hour before the show most people would have said no, but come showtime there was something in him that turned on and he managed to deliver.
Billy Joel
I'm not a fan of Joel's, but he's been performing essentially the same repertoire of songs for so many decades that he could probably do them whilst in a coma.
ReplyDeleteI've always found if you have just visited the booze-ateria for a bit too long take a looooooong bump of medicine and not even God will know you are drunk.
ReplyDeleteHe's got legions of fans and he knows down deep that if he didn't show, there would have been a full fledged riot.
ReplyDeleteToo bad he can't kick it.
A couple weeks ago I telled a real good friend of mine that I had done 2 8balls that weekend and I really wanted to quit.
ReplyDeleteShe said, "Who you fooling? You never will."
I responded: "Oh, you probably right."
It is so important to have friends who know you and will set you straight. Praise God for an honest word from someone who cares when you really need it.
Amen Miss June
ReplyDeleteSorry to see this. We saw him earlier this year and he was great. Wish he'd get his act together. Having another kid at his age you'd think would make him want to try to be healthy after smoking and drinking all these years.
ReplyDeleteHe's having another kid now? Oy.
ReplyDeleteOh Billy...why do you always go to extremes? Don't say you don't know why. You're either too high or too low, there's no inbetween.
ReplyDeletewell . june , it depends on whether you're worth more to that someone alive or dead .
ReplyDeleteI literally thought that they meant that they were worried about him' "performing"
