He Started The Fire
Billy Joel is one of my favorites, so I was sad to see that daughter Alexa Ray seems determined to follow in her father's moderately screwed-up footsteps.
I actually met Alexa back in the day. Well, OK, perhaps "sat next to" would be more accurate than "met." Billy performed at my college, and I was able to sit in the press/VIP box, where a then-11-year-old Alexa was also camped out.
At the time, I remember thinking that she got a few too many Billy Genes (not "Billy Jeans") and not enough Christie Genes. Now I find this current picture, which (not to be rude) sort of reminds me of one of Conan's "If They Mated" segments:
I think it's the width of the smile that makes her look kind of cartoony.
Anyway, glad she's OK and hopefully she'll get back on a good path.
