The Piano Man with bread in his jar should have used a jar Friday night as police in New York claim they arrested Joel for exposing himself while pissing behind a bar.
An attorney for Joel says that his client has nothing to say but that he could not hold it in. If he had held it in, while taking a leak, he would have pissed his pants and, though I told him no, thought there might be a law against that.
Joel, whose daughter Alexa has been having problems of late also, wanted his fans to know that this can happen to any of them.
"He wanted his fans to know that, and I quote, 'drinking all that coffee at a Starbucks can lead to the same thing, especially when you add a little something to it.'"
Joel was later cleared of all charges when a man who, poor devil, looked like Joel came by the police station and turned himself in.
"I didn't want Mr. Joel to get in trouble", stated Frank Newby. "That was me. I guess Billy Joel had been drinking too and maybe thought it was true but it wasn't him. It was me and my conscious was bothering me till I turned myself in."
Newby stated that no one would have even noticed him back there behind the bar but he was feeling pretty good and a great relief so he kept yelling "Amber Alert! Amber Alert!"
