I covered Billy Joel’s appearance at the National Press Club last week where he was slated to talk about celebrity endorsements of political candidates. The hour-long conversation/mini-concert moved from politics to an entertaining peek into his life and musical career. It was one of those assignments where I was pleasantly surprised at its unpredictability. I got the story … and I got to hear Joel play and sing snippets of hits and “Summer, Highland Falls” all the way through to an audience of no more than about 300.

Did the crowd of 300 primarily consist of bacchanal college students? That’s usually who I associate Billy Joel with.
