Kopi Moment #10

Now john at the bar is a friend of mine,
He gets me my drinks for free,
And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke,
But there's someplace that he'd rather be.
He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me,"
As the smile ran away from his face,
Well I'm sure that I could be a movie star,
If I could get out of this place.
- Billy Joel, 'Piano Man'

Goodnight Saigon

Billy Joel's Goodnight Saigon - what real music appreciation is and should be, instead of Smetana, Dvorak and a whole lotta people with names I've never heard of. Just listen to the lyrics...it really brings the intensity and horror of the Vietnam War home.
