Billy Joel is correct. In most things, as he has always been.

This is why he is known as the Sage of Long Island.

idk, given the nature of most youth deaths -- including a tenth which are directly attributed to alcohol -- I'm guessing he has a very different definition of "good" and it likely doesn't represent a moral evaluation.

In all likelihood, the "good dying young" doesn't make us terrible, it makes us boring. After all, young deaths are attributed to high-risk (ie, exciting) behaviors.

Only the good dying young does not exclude the possibility for the good to die old.

It's a good thing my life span is 1000 years.

A rare shred of logic in a sea of snap-decisions.

Logic has no place on PotD or the Internet as a whole. Away with you!

That explains why Billy is so old. That guy could care less about others, just look at his driving record.

I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints.
