I was born on Long Island in the '70s and have a congenital predisposition to fucking LOVE Billy Joel. Also, it's illegal to be from Long Island and not like Billy Joel. I love Billy Joel.

Turns out, I also love memes calling him out for how much harmonica there is in fucking Piano Man

I have family on Long Island. I don't think I've ever gone into a restaurant there that didn't have a signed photo of Billy Joel hanging up. That motherfucker eats out.
