Dispatches From The Front: Piano Man Edition

I've never been a big Billy Joel fan. He's second only to John Cougar Mellencamp on my list of "Candyasses who wish they were Bruce Springsteen." So when this item was passed on from Danny Bigwheel, we had no choice but to pass it on. Note: Danny Bigwheel's a smart kid, just has some trouble with runon sentences and capitalization.

So last night we were dining at gibson's for an insurance function when we
notice the piano man himself drinking alone in the corner, Now a guy i
work with is the kind of big gregarious guy that everyone loves, well he
saunters over there and starts serenading Billy Joel with Piano Man. Who
then proceeds to flip out and throw a drink at my guy (who's almost 60
himself). Then he gets the maitre'd involved and tries to get our whole
table thrown out, Security is swarming and were all just laughing,
finally we promised not to disturb him again and they let us finish our
dinner. On a side note man is that place over rated I'd take smith and
wollenskys or even the chop house over it any day.
