super bowl note to

Billy Joel:

Please do not sing the National Anthem ever again. Only sing the National Anthem if the National Anthem suddenly becomes “The Stranger” or “Scenes from an Italian Restaurant.”

I need to still love you. Don’t make it so hard.

Love,

Me

  1. Hahaha, Kate! Both your parents wailing about Billy Joel.
    It’s like he didn’t even TRY. So blase about it. And that’s the shortest I’ve ever heard anyone hold the high note:

    “… land of the FREEEE!”

    Jeez, Billy, are you going to sing it or give a dramatic reading?

  2. i missed it. i’m glad. i love him and need to not have that dashed.

    i’ve seen him in concert thrice, and he’s always put on a phenomenal show. never phones it in. Elton John, on the other hand, just sits there and wonders when his 2 hours are up. it surprises me that Joel phoned it in. me sad.

  3. Okay, sarah, we were commenting at the same time, but yes, then I’m glad you missed it. Do not go looking for it on YouTube. I say this as your blog friend who cares for you and desires all love of Billy Joel to endure.

  4. At our party yesterday we actually had the following joke:

    Q – Why didn’t Prince sing the anthem and Billy Joel the halftime show?
    A – Prince wasn’t in Miami yet, and Billy wouldn’t have been sober anymore.
