Billy Joel talks about Jimmy on the "Today Show"

Post by pir8dave »

Jimmy's name came up in Matt Lauer's conversation about Billy Joel starting a new tour, his first in several years and here's a snippet of that conversation courtesy of NBC:

"Lauer: You know Jimmy Buffett pretty well.

Joel: Yeah.

Lauer: He kids with me sometimes. He says, “You know what? Whenever somebody comes up to me and says, “Play Cheeseburger in Paradise,” I cringe on the one side. But these are the fans on the other side. They want to hear it. What's your "Cheeseburger in Paradise" song …

Joel: Probably …

Lauer: … when somebody comes up?

Joel: … "Just the Way You Are.”

Anyway...I thought it was pretty interesting. Ya'll have a very Merry Chirstmas.

Who is he kidding, everyone knows Joel's "We Didn't Start The Fire" is his "Cheeseburger in Paradise" or at least the equivalent of "Math Suks".

I heard the same interview and when I heard Matt Laurer ask Billy Joel about Jimmy Buffett, I said huh, Matt Laurer is a parrotheat too.

Did you know that "Survive" is written in emulation of BJ's style?
