You may be right, I may be crazy

[marydell]

My Ipod is hiding somewhere, so I've been listening to CDs in the car this week, which means in most cases listening to older stuff. This morning I decided to give some old Billy Joel a whirl, and had Glass Houses in the player.

The song You May Be Right, I May Be Crazy features the following "crazy" behavior:

- Crashing a party
- Walking through Bedford-Stuy alone
- Riding a motorcycle in the rain
- Telling dirty jokes

That's the entirety of his "lunacy." Ah, the good old days.

And you told me not to drive
But I made it home alive

The entirety of his lunacy seems to be alcohol-related.

I assumed that was merely another instance of motorcycling in the rain :)

But yeah, it seems likely that really he's a drunk, which is less sexy than a lunatic. Also, I still don't understand why she's sitting in an electric chair.

The next song on the album is about phone sex, so it's a big ol' rocker all around.

Hitting on a woman in an electric chair. Definitely nuts.

Hm, it just occurred to me, maybe it's an electric-powered wheelchair! Then it's perfectly sensible.

His real-life lunacy was running his cars into trees, as I recall...
