People hate Billy Joel


I never realized how much people legit despise Billy Joel. I always saw him as like, not a musical legend, but insanely popular. Come on, Piano Man? Movin' Out? People go CRAZY over those songs! But the people who go crazy must be either mentally insane or drunk, because the better half of the human race pretty much wishes someone would rip out his vocal cords. Just check out what critic Ron Rosenbaum has to say about him.

It's not that they dislike anything exterior about you. They dislike you because of who you really are inside. They dislike you for being you. At a certain point, consistent, aggressive badness justifies profound hostility. They hate you just the way you are.

Someone get the ointment, 'cause that's a BURN!

ehm... why? (as in why do people hate him? and hate him so much at that??) He´s always just been there, in the neutral zone, in my book/s. Can´t think of any controversy around him @ all, so this comes as a kind of a shocker...
