The 76-Second Travel Show wants to take you on a Billy Joel roadtrip in New York’s Long Island to celebrate the ‘guitar man’s’ 61st birthday on Sunday, May 9, 2010.
The trip begins from Brooklyn, NY, that morning and should be back around dusk.
The itinerary is mostly a secret (ie still being formed) and will include some food, a look at Cold Spring Harbor (which Billy named his first solo album after in 1971 — though it was released too fast, by accident), the ‘village green’ where Brenda and Eddie hung out at in ‘Scenes from an Italian Restaurant’ (see this video done by Mexico City students) and a look at the ‘miracle mile’ from ‘It’s Still Rock’n'Roll to Me.’
To enter, just tell us what you think Billy Joel thinks of travel.
Two random winners will be picked on April 20.
I was originally going to answer with a snarky, “Some folks like to get away and take a holiday from the neighborhood, but Billy Joel will always be in a New York state of mind.” (As evidenced from his staying local throughout most of his life.) However, Wikipedia says he “lost” more than $1 million dollars with the Russian concerts in 1987. Isn’t there a difference between losing money and investing in international goodwill? If Nixon opened up China, then Joel definitely had a hand with bringing down the Berlin Wall.
You pronounced Syosset like that as a joke, right?
(And for a real Billy Joel road trip, start in Wheeling, WV, then head out to Colorado, Utah and Oklahoma, ending up at the cemetery in Boot Hill.)
Something about combining Billy Joel and a road trip that frightens me. Will we visit some of the Piano Man’s car crash sites along the way?
For the record Billy Joel crashed three times on Long Island. Once with a motorcycle, once into a tree and once into someone’s home.
I’m sure Billy tries not to think much about travel or else he might suffer a heart-attack-ack-ack-ack-ack-ack.
Would he, as a man of means, now simply turn one of his peers, one Christopher Cross, for his thoughts? Should not the reward for a life spent chasing gigs be sailing most passive?
