I appreciate you and Matt and others doing so too. You get it. Being there is not the same as watching a video.

I saw Billy Joel last weekend and there were a couple of times that he was singing and the microphone was nowhere near his face. I don't mean the lag you see on the screen, I mean obvious incidents of vocals coming out of the speakers and they were not coming from him. I found out from a friend who is more informed on Billy Joel than me that he has an impersonator in his band who covers the notes he can't hit. So... no wonder he sounds so good for 67, right?

I think I'll take an honest Jon with his flaws who is making the effort and working to improve himself over leaving a show feeling like I've been duped.

P.S. I'm going to Memphis next month.
