A Song About War And Hope
As a Billy Joel fan I wanted to share this song, "Leningrad" about a circus clown he met during a tour that lived through the Cold War. The lines in this song, "Haven't they heard we won the war... what do they keep on fighting for" ring so true even today. I remember air raid drills in grammar school in the sixties when we all had to get down under our desks because they actually tried to make us believe a bomb was going to be dropped on us by the Russian "Commies." To this day governments still make boogeymen to keep people from around the world from knowing that despite any differences we may have, our similarities are much more prevalent and what we should concentrate on to truly have a peaceful world. For me this is one of the best songs Billy Joel ever wrote and it always touches me when I hear it.

Joel Makes Impact With Anti-War Song
The Piano Man Billy Joel has released a new pop single, the anti-war "Christmas in Fallujah." Just don't expect to hear his voice on it, instead you'll hear 21-year-old Singer-Songwriter Cass Dillion from Long Island.
"I thought it should be somebody young, about a soldier's age," Joel said in a statement on his Web site. "I wanted to help somebody else's career. I've had plenty of hits. I've had plenty of airplay. I've had my time in the sun. I think it's time for somebody else, maybe, to benefit from my own experience."
