How to contact Billy Joel
Robert Schifiliti
I am on the board of directors for Creative Arts in Reading, MA where my son
takes piano lessons. The school has many music and art offerings. For this
years Program Book - like a playbill that we use at all concerts - I would
like to place a full page ad saying "Best of luck to all the students and
faculty at Creative Arts, with love for music, Billy Joel". I'll pay the
$100.00 cost myself. I just think it would really charge up the students.
And, I don't want to do it without permission.
If anyone can let me know how to get in touch with him, I would greatly
appreciate it.
Thank you.

Yeah, this will work. But if you e-mail Dan, I'm sure you could get his pager
#, or find out where he'll be at a specific time. That way you can just meet
him there.

Better yet, just keep in touch with Dan via cellphone. He'll call you from his
tree branch to let you know when hes pulling out, and where he appeared to be
going.

I have to hand it to you, Dan. You handled my original post with class, and
realized I was only joking with you, it wasn't meant as a personal insult.
Although that social security # thing does sort of worry me :)

Hey psolinger, I don't want any problems here....all i have is a question.
Why is it that even when a post thats absolutely not even "Dan" related, you or
someone else always has to turn it into one. i thought you guys were sick of
this guy? Why do you continue to bring him up on something not even related to
him if he gets on your nerves so much. And then when he does reply, all you do
is complain and ask him why he doesn't shut up. I have nothing against Dan, nor
am i a Dan supporter. but i just can't understand how you and some other people
turn about 95% of all posts this newsgroup into a Dan topic, and then bitch
about him responding to it. Wouldn't it be better to filter the guy out, like
some have said and done, not even mention him, and let the problem go away that
way. I can still remember the good old days when we actually discussed Billy
Joel in here. Hopefully someday we'll get back to that.
psolinger, please don't turn this into a flame war against me or anything.
I'm just asking what i feel is a totally legitquestion, thats all.
And a side note to Dan == Dude, it would probably be a good idea to not
even waste your time responding to everything thats said about you. This is
never gonna end until one side takes the initiative to not give a crap anymore,
and stop responding and continuing this annoying process. Who cares what people
say about you, are you that insecure that you have to defend your ego every
time someone says something. think about it. Just lay low and let this thing
blow over.

>I'm just asking what i feel is a totally legitquestion, thats all
Okay, I'll answer your question, although I already addressed it in a previous
post. I was merely giving Dan some shit, just joking with him. I don't
seriously believe Dan has Billy's pager #, or that Dan camps out in a tree
across from his house. My post wasn't meant to be mailicious or mean-spirited.
I made my post knowing that Dan would respond. I was pleasantly surprised
that his response didn't include a flame back at me, or anyone else.
As far as I'm concerned, this is a public newsgroup, and I have as much a right
to say whatever I want as you or Dan do. If I choose to exercise that right by
ribbing Dan, that's exactly what I will do. I choose not to waste this post by
ripping on you or Dan, I'm merely stating my side of things.
No offense to you or Dan,

I agree with everything that you said and you said it very well. I would also
like to say that it is a shame that you post something like this and then have
to put a disclaimer so that no one will start up with you.
And look, I have really cut down my replies in here to people bashing on me
from every angle, but you are right. I didn't post for a while, but when I
did, people began to slam me again. Then, even when I say nothing, somehow my
name gets brought up and people make jokes about me. So, I respond and defend
myself and they have a problem with that too. They say things about me and ask
me questions, when I reply, they tell me not to post. The problem may have
been me, but the source of the arguing is not me anymore. Take this latest
thing, what did I do to cause this thread? Yeah, I know, I said something 8
months ago, but lately, not really. Nothing that I caused.
Dan
Dan6971
waste your time, but it has no place in here. What if everyone just said
whatever was on their mind at any time? I mean, come on, this may be a public
forum, but it is about BILLY JOEL! You can say what you want about me because
I could care less, but don't you realize that when you out of the blue say
things about me, that causes everyone to do that and starts it all up again?
Why not just leave things the way they are? Are you and the others just
looking for attention?
Just stick to talking about Billy Joel, that is what people come in here to
read, not that I have Billy's pager number...

Perhaps. But his previous post was to call Maritime.

>>joking is, provides reason for someone to make calls about you.
So any person who is trusting and has a sense of humor that doesn't meet your
standards should be reported to Maritime Music? And all this time, I thought
they were Billy's management company, not a psychiatric hotline.
"Hello, Maritime? I'd like to report a person who has no sense of humor and
believes anything they hear. This person could be a threat."

Oh, this makes a lot of sense Dan. You really *are* mentally

yes, I did know you were "joking" (which is questionable since you're a stalker
freak) If anyone else on this newsgroup said that, it would have been funny.
But coming from you, it would make perfect sense, and if you had the chance,
I'm sure that would be on your wall with your Stony Brook poster. :-D

It's not out of the blue. It's because you do not offer us any worthy on-topic
information. What you offer is a thinly-veiled way to make yourself the center
of attention and then receive praise for it.
But whatever, you don't care. How lame. It doesn't matter. Blah blah blah...

>*you* start a topic? Otherwise, don't complain.
Christine,
First of all, I wasn't necessarily complaining. Just trying to get some
information as to why some things happen.
Secondly, I stated i wasn't intending to start any flame wars with
anybody. And I won't, but damn, your just downright rude. I wasn't even talking
to you in the first place. Sure its a newsgroup, and anybody can respond. but
you should've just read that all i wanted was something answered, i got my
answer, and was satisfied with it. Case Closed! Why don't you just keep your
damn rude comments to yourself.
And thirdly, just because Billy isn't doing much these days, thats good
enough reason to turn this into a Dan newsgroup? I don't think so. And as for
me starting a topic, don't have one, but I do have a question if anyone knows
the answer......
Was the Sigma Sound Studio session recorded before or after Billy did his
6 month stint at the Piano Bar in LA?
PSolinger1
>6 month stint at the Piano Bar in LA
I don't have an exact answer, just a guess. Since this thread has my name in
the subject, I feel it my duty to reply whether I know the answer or not :)
The sigma session was in 1972, I believe, and I want to guess that this is
after Billy worked in the piano bar (which was sometime in 71 or 72 I think).
Anyway, feel free to correct me, because it is just a guess.

I can see that conversation:
Dan: Yeah, Hi?
Maritime: Yes, may I help you?
Dan: Someone on the Billy Joel newsgroup believes anything and doesn't
understand what joking is!!!!!
Maritime: <Click>
Dan, please attempt to think before saying inane things.

Again, if you don't know the whole story, then you can't possibly make a
thought-out comment.

You are absolutely right. This is an unmoderated newsgroup, and I can
respond to whomever I choose.

Righ. And if Dan would go away or stop saying inane comments, then no
one would ever talk about Dan again, as was evidenced when he stopped
posting for a week or so. Of course, he came back and called everyone
"lame" (unprovoked) causing people to become angry once again.

Another look into Dan's pathetic world... "Someone actually went 4 days without
checking for Billy Joel news on the net!!??" Will you ever understand that not
everyone that checks in here lives and breathes for Billy Joel? How many times
do several different people have to tell you that for you to get the point? I

I haven't checked the board all weekend. You see, I have this thing
called a LIFE which requires me to be away from the computer for days at
a time!!! I know that this may seem incomprehensible (and frightening)
to you. I have friends, place to go, and things to do. Reach far into
your imagination, and try to envision this type of life. I know you can
do it. You at least see that Billy Joel has a life (you follow him
around constantly).
Sorry you are so pathetic (yet amused nonetheless),

You people become angry when dan calls you a stupid name (and not even a bad
one at that) but he shouldnt get angry when you call him a name?
I think everyone has the right to post whatever, but I also think it should be
of some interest to the whole group, not just an argument between 2-3 people.
Can we all say "rebuttal"?

I don't personally get angry when Dan calls me anything. However, he
left the NG for 2 weeks, and his first post back was an insult to
everyone in the group. If he had simply come back and not made such an
unprovoked remark, no one would give a rat's ass. He cut off his nose
to spite his face. And he can't say that we are the ones who dwell on
him or his responses. The cold, hard fact is is that no one mentioned
Dan when he was not around. If he had come back, again, and written
normal posts, then these arguments would not continue. But he did, and
they do.

However, I can see people's point when Dan blasts someone for starting
something after four days, after Dan himself waited four days to respond to it.

Not trying to pick a fight or argument with Dan or anyone, but isn't the
correct phrase "I couldN'T care less"? Basically, you're trying to say you
DO NOT CARE about something. If you say you COULD care less, then it shows
that you do care somewhat. The frequent misuse of this phrase is one of my
major pet peeves.
