Billy Joel got to watch a Billy Joel concert Wednesday.
The Piano Man himself was a surprise guest in the audience at Glen Cove's Deasy Elementary School spring concert, "The River of Dreams: A Billy Joel Tribute."
In the show, kindergartners through second-graders performed 15 songs from various phases of Joel's career.
"We invited Billy Joel on a lark, but we didn't expect him to come. It was totally thrilling," said Nomi Rosen, Deasy's principal. "We were all beside ourselves."
Joel drove to the Finley Middle School's Wunsch Art Center, where Deasy's concert was held, a mere 10 minutes from his Centre Island home, via motorcycle. He arrived casually five minutes before the 9:30 a.m. start.
"I asked him if he wanted to sit in front, but he said he would rather stay in the back so he wouldn't make the kids nervous," Rosen said.
Parents and staff made a joint effort to invite Joel. Letters were sent, as well as Facebook messages on his fan page.
"I found out two minutes before the concert started that he was here and it totally freaked me out. My nerves went sky-high," admitted Rosita Mallo, concert director and music teacher. "This was a very welcomed surprise. It gave the kids extra energy to perform."
After hearing the kindergartners and first graders, Joel started getting flooded with photo and autograph requests, prompting him to exit early. However, the memory was already made.
"These kids will have a story to tell how they got to sing for Billy Joel," says Kim Velentzas, 42, of Glen Cove, who was in the audience to see her son Harrison, 7, perform. "For a Long Islander, that's a big deal."

Beetlejuice used to scare the crap out of me as a kid. The only movie that compares is IT. I can't handle either. But I think Beetlejuice has traumatized me enough that as an adult, I still can't watch it.

I'll never try watching IT again. Never.

I have an idea, lets make a movie that has a Clown as the bad guy that is really a giant spider looking alien! We'll call it IT. What could go wrong?

IT I will never do again. I still dislike clowns so why fight it. Tim Burton movies I have managed to watch as an adult and enjoy. I couldn't finish Batman Returns as a little child, but now think it's a good movie. Beetlejuice is worth giving a second chance just for the Day-O scene.

Here's my surprised face: :happy:


You got: ’60s Rock

Rock in the ’60s was a constantly evolving thing, with wildly inventive artists like The Beatles, The Beach Boys, The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, and The Who basically making up rock culture as they went along. This is an extremely earnest and progressive period too, with most of the counterculture defined by hippie ideals

You got: Laurel Canyon in the Late ’60s/Early ’70s

Henry Diltz/Faber & Faber/FGS / Via npr.org
Joni Mitchell, Crosby Stills and Nash, Carole King, The Eagles, The Byrds, Love, and many other singer-songwriters all converged in the idyllic Laurel Canyon region of Los Angeles in the late ’60s and early ’70s to basically live the hippy dream. The vibe of the scene was very relaxed, and the music was mostly low-key and introspective. It’s basically the one time in pop culture when the coolest thing you could be was an introverted homebody who wanted to be close to nature.
Interesting given my love of Aerosmith and Kiss...

Since I have nothing better to do with my time, I just figured out that I posted 1,766 times in this thraed and 1,264 in the Ingalls thraed so of my 5,746 posts, 3,030 or 53% were about rhubarb, BMs, zombies, rabid prairie girls and general nonsense.

And with that...I'm off to the bank and to grab a southwest chicken salad.

How to Order a Philly Cheesesteak
When ordering a cheesesteak, the idea is to let the cashier know a.) that you would like a cheesesteak, b.) what type of cheese you want, and c.) whether or not you want fried onions. And you have to be as concise as possible while doing so.
Locals have become so adept at this practice that they basically have it down to three words: saying “one wiz with” to the person behind the counter means that you would like one cheesesteak [denoted by the “one”] with Cheeze Wiz as your choice of cheese [denoted by the “wiz”] and with fried onions [denoted by the “with”].
Similarly, saying “one provolone without” would secure you a single cheesesteak [one] made with provolone cheese [provolone] and without fried onions [without].
Ok. Got it? Now go ahead and test out your ordering prowess for real.
