I was thinking of the four seasons, frankie valli and the four seasons, and when i was thinking "uptown girl!" i was trying to sing like frankie valli. they had a song called "ragdoll," which was about a poor girl and a rich guy. so i just flipped it around and made it about a rich girl and a poor guy.

More From Billy Joel

Somebody/ anybody sing a black girl's song bring her out to know herself to know you but sing her rhythms carin/ struggle/ hard times sing her song of life she's been dead so long closed in silence so long she doesn't know the sound of her own voice her infinite beauty she's half-notes scattered without rhythm/ no tune sing her sighs sing the song of her possibilities sing a righteous gospel let her be born let her be born & handled warmly.
Girl Song Struggle
Someone once asked me why people sing. i answered that they sing for many of the same reasons the birds sing. they sing for a mate, to claim their territory, or simply to give voice to the delight of being alive in the midst of a beautiful day. perhaps more than the birds do, humans hold a grudge. they sing to complain of how grievously they have been wronged, and how to avoid it in the future. they sing to help themselves execute a job of work. they sing so the subsequent generations won’t forget what the current generation endured, or dreamed, or delighted in.

The song that i will sing is an old song, so old that none knows who made it. it has been handed down through generations and was taught to me when i was but a little lad. it is now my own song. it belongs to me. this is a holy song (medicine-song), and great is its power. the song tells how, as i sing, i go through the air to a holy place where yusun (the supreme being) will give me power to do wonderful things. i am surrounded by little clouds, and as i go through the air i change, becoming spirit only.

Viktor was swinging a leather duffle and wearing a black adidas tracksuit and his favorite brown ugg slippers with a hole in the toe. "worn and old, just like viv," he'd say when frankie made fun of them, and then his wife would swat him on the arm. but frankie knew he was just joking, because viveka was the type of woman you wished was in a magazine just so you could stare at her violet-colored eyes and shiny black hair without being called a stalker or a freak.

Has donald trump ever called himself a populist? i don't think donald trump's ever called himself a populist. i think other people have called him a populist, and other people have called steve bannon a populist. but i don't think trump's ever called himself that and he may not know what one is, within the political realm or definition. he's not a political person, and that i think is leading to many people having just a devil of a time translating the guy, analyzing the guy, predicting the guy, projecting the guy.

Los angeles is where you have to be if you want to be an actor. you have no choice. you go there or new york. i flipped a coin about it. it came up new york, so i flipped again. when you're starting out to be an actor, who wants to go where it's cold and miserable and be poor there?

America has borders. you have quite strict borders, actually. even getting a work permit in new york actually is quite a difficult thing to do. i've got to prove i've got an address. i've got to prove i have private health care. and when my work permit runs out, if i haven't left, there'll be a knock at the door, they'll put me in handcuffs and take me to jfk airport. that's how you guys do it.
