Singer Billy Joel and Kate Lee hold hands at their wedding at Joel's home in Centre Island, New York, Saturday, Oct. 2, 2004. Joel's daughter, Alexa Ray, far left, and an unidentified guest, are also seen.

[Logic n' Reason]

Billy Joel did NOT marry a 23 year old woman.

Billy Joel's MONEY married a 23 year old woman.

If Billy Joel were as in-debt and broke as I am, his chances of marrying any 23 year old woman - regardless of how she looked - would be about the same as a guy swimming in the middle of the Ohio River in February being attacked and eaten by a great white shark (my abject apologies to Greg Norman).

More power to ya, Billy!

I don't mean to be rude to Joel, whom I have never met, but is he marrying her or is he just arranging to have legitimate heirs by her. Or maybe he was demonstrating what a con artist he was in letting her think she was marrying him. Or maybe he wasn't tired of banging her yet and she insisted that they get marriage before she would submit further.

Marriage is a lifelong committment, it's selfless giving, it's sharing growth of yourselves and your family, and eventually becoming "one flesh." How can a, what 50-something man?, do any of that with a 23-year-old girl?

OK, so the west hasn't understood marriage that way for a long time. That doesn't change what it is.

Shalom.

She married his MONEY not Billy Joel - look at him ... if it werent' for his money he'd be a lonely bachelor. As for him, he married his youthful years. Being around someone younger sures up his self confidence and self image.

At least he can polish the fenders."

Why o' why, did he marry such an old hag?
