Major concert announcement? Billy who?
The Story
Live Nation and Time Warner Cable Arena made a BIG deal Wednesday about a major concert announcement coming Thursday.
Don’t keep me in suspense – who is it?!?
Billy Joel.
Ummm …
Now, if you grew up in the ’70s and early ’80s, Billy was the man. But he hasn’t had a hit in two decades. Yeah, we don’t get the hype. (If you do, he’s coming Dec. 5.)
Either do you
Some Hornets players gave this, um, welcome?
With this type of “welcome” from @hornets, Billy Joel may think again about Charlotte show. http://t.co/wtBy5kMhjq pic.twitter.com/sOFhSDuXqL

I like Billy Joel just fine, but that’s our “major” concert announcement?

@saintorange glad I wasn’t the only one thinking that. Didn’t need a press conference

C5’s Take
Okay, yeah, so we do know all the words to Piano Man. And Movin’ Out. And Scenes from an Italian Restaurant. But that’s just because our parents listen to him.
