Scenes From an Italian Restaurant - Part 2

What this episode covers

The explosive conclusion of Billy Joel's greatest song. Scenes From an Italian Restaurant. We really go into some detail about this one. Why wouldn't we? It is the fourth track on the first 'perfect album' side of The Stranger and came out on September 29, 1977. It was never released as a single, which makes it even more epic that this is Billy's most famous song. Today we talk about the final four and a half minutes and parts of composition and analysis. The Ballad of Brenda and Eddie and the epic outro, trivia and the weird Elon parody. It's another good week to be a listener of Billy Joel A to Z. Hosted on Acast.
