Wait, are you saying that Billy Joel doesn’t actually live in Allentown??
Still one of the most metal lyrics ever.
“I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die”
How much more detached and psychotic can you get? Even with goregrind, the motive is clear, albeit deranged. This is just, fuck it, I just want this person dead just to see them die.
That song was initially “Levittown,” but he changed it to make the message appear to a wider audience. And Billy Joel sings about growing up on Long Island all the time! You can still meet him at his Scenes Italian Restaurant if you know the right neighborhood.
He came into my job once! He’s a real jerk from what I’ve been told and wouldn’t even look at any of us let alone a nod or a wave as we’re just worthless factory schmucks lol
