Stranded in the combat zone!
Walked through Bedford Stuy alone!
Even rode my motorcycle in the rain!
Yeah man, I’m baaaaaad. Bad ass, man. Yup. Dude, I’m SO bad, I walk THROUGH POOR NEIGHBORHOODS ALL BY MYSELF!
I’ll also be keeping my eyes open for those same neighborhoods to get nice, y’know. Buy my daughter a condo there, maybe invest in a wine & cheese shop and whatnot.
But that’s all a few years down the road. For now, I’m going to be a real tough guy and continue singing about how I WALKED THROUGH BEDFORD STUY ALONE!
I just may be the LUNATIC you’re looking for!
*Note: Yes, I live in Long Island and I’m sick of hearing Billy Joel songs everywhere I go.
I too find that line ridiculous, obnoxious and offensive.
