This surprised me - he was not born until more than another decade after this came out and didn't come to America for fifteen years after that - but I certainly like it. Finest thing Joel ever wrote. Some of the lyrics to his other songs bother me, but my brother toured with him for six months decades ago. He was a lighting roadie then, became a lighting designer eventually. He said that Joel was one of the best he had seen about being good to all the stage help and other support people for his concerts. It's the sort of thing that matters to me and I mention it when I can.
