    Growing up I was never a fan of Billy Joel. Didn’t know half the songs. But my 16 year old son is listening to him now. Taking a break from Kanye, Juice etc. He said to me Billy Joel might be the greatest musician of all time. I had a hard time debating that. All I could say was there may be the greatest Cellist in the world performing in a European orchestra. Hard to quantify the greatest. But for songwriting, performing and mastery of the piano and his own vocals, yes Billy Joel may be the greatest I will acknowledge. I’m admiring and appreciating his work as I get older. And long for the days when so many great artists of all different genres could make music and fill the airwaves. Alas, that era is gone and never to return I fear.

    She's Always a Woman
    Billy Joel
    She can kill with a smile, she can wound with her eyes
    And she can ruin your faith with her casual lies
    And she only reveals what she wants you to see
    She hides like a child but she's always a woman to me
    She can lead you to love, she can take you or leave you
    She can ask for the truth but she'll never believe you
    And she'll take what you give her as long as it's free
    Yeah she steals like a thief but she's always a woman to me
    Oh, she takes care of herself, she can wait if she wants
    She's ahead of her time
    Oh, and she never gives out and she never gives in
    She just changes her mind
    And she'll promise you more than the garden of Eden
    Then she'll carelessly cut you and laugh while you're bleeding
    But she brings out the best and the worst you can be
    Blame it all on yourself 'cause she's always a woman to me
    Oh, she takes care of herself, she can wait if she wants
    She's ahead of her time
    Oh, and she never gives out and she never gives in
    She just changes her mind
    She is frequently kind and she's suddenly cruel
    But she can do as she pleases, she's nobody's fool
    And she can't be convicted, she's earned her degree
    And the most she will do is throw shadows at you
    But she's always a woman to me
