Six Word Memoirs on Life Stories

Sagacious says,

I like the part in "Movin' Out" when he goes "workin' too hard can give you a heart attack yakyakyakyakyak. I know that doesn't answer your question, but I had an overwhelming need to share that.

All of them. But maybe The Stranger....or Still Rock n Roll to Me....or Longest Time....or Vienna...or every song on Glass Houses...yep, all of them.

Undermom says,

I agree with all of them.
But my first last and always Billy love is
You're My Home

Redx3 says,

Vienna Waits For You
Down'easter Alexa

From Long Island originally, and when he sings Down'easter Alexa, he sings about all the things I grew up with. My husbands dad was a bayman and my mom shucked.

All. Can't choose just one ...

Level1 says,

When I was 17, it was Only the Good Die Young. When I was in my 12th year of Catholic school I hooked up someone from a part time job I had. Still naked, he jumped up from the bed and grabbed his guitar and started singing that to me. I still smile when I think of that afternoon.

Now, though, I would have to say New York State of Mind. Since 9/11 the local radio stations always play that on the anniversary. Although it has come to be associated with that terrible day, it is really a great song about my wonderful state. The lyrics sum up the state beautifully. In its structure and delivery, it is very old fashioned. I think that's what I like best about it.

Steve__Anthony says,

Somewhere Along the Line
You're My Home
Captain Jack
We Didn't Start the Fire
.... and It's All About Style (because I thought was so-o-o-o in love when the radio was playing that song).

The Piano Man LP is in my All-Time Top 10.
