I've been tired of the song for at least fifteen years. I wouldn't choose to listen to it anymore because it's overplayed on a daily basis around the world. I hear the opening strains and I think, "Enough. The world has heard this enough."
And, yet, get a few beers in me and a group of friends and "Piano Man" just happens. We draw on our shared communal memories and suddenly a group of inebriated goofballs are warbling "la la didi da."
Go figure.
