I found a nice Catholic* boy to spend the evening with. Later, bitches!



*I originally said "Jewish," because it's always been kind of a joke that he is Jewish because of, well, the nose and, of course, his last name (like the Berenstein Bears). I was trying to be funny, but I guess it didn't translate. So, I changed it. I know The Boss is a nice Catholic boy. I've heard enough of his 15-minute-long stories. And, come on, even if I hadn't known, I could have easily figured it out by singing The Chanukah Song.

Bruce isn't Jewish! He's Catholic. Geez!

I'm so jealous you are going to that concert. Promise you'll post a full, insanely detailed recap.

Um, yeah, Bruce is a good Catholic boy not a nice Jewish boy.

I HOPE YOU HAD A BLAST I WANT DETAILS

I saw him in Philly in 1979. Great show.

Ohhh man, totally jealous.

*pout*
So. Jealous. I wish I could have seen him back home, but he was all retired and shit while I was still there.
He's one of those nice Catholic boys who only get better with age too.

I just love him. I'd only ever seen him once, in Philadelphia years ago, but then my husband surprised me with tickets when he played the Verizon Center in May. It was awesome, they played for over three hours. I hope you had fun!
I would have just said "working class" man cause we all know that's what he represents. I always assumed he was jewish. Next you're going to tell me Max Weinberg is Catholic too.

My mother was convinced he was Jewish. Such a nice boy; such a great voice (what that had to do with it I had no idea) and the name and nose....

She knew Billy Joel was--the Jewish mothers Long Island connection--I didn't believe her and uh thought I could meet him and marry him

I so wish I had been at the Meadowlands. You will remember that concert forever

He played Shea about a year after 9/11 and paid for the subways home. Will never forget that

Max Weinberg is Latvian Orthodox, I think. He converted.

Of course, I may be thinking of another bespectacled Jewish guy.
