I first started listening to his music in, like, '99/'00. Basically, went off to college, discovered genres that weren't "country," and he was one of a number of '70s & '80s acts for whom I discovered an appreciation.

But it wasn't until I stumbled on the Billy Joel Channel on Sirius XM that I came around to the realization that his lyrics really are some of the most pretentious bullshit in the business.

Doesn't matter to me, really. I like the tunes, I jam to 'em when I hear 'em.

But hearing essentially nothing BUT for two weeks, eventually I started actually listening to the lyrics and...well, pretentious bullshit.

Pretentious bullshit I enjoy, but pretentious bullshit.
