From Dan's Papers:

Billy Joel is back in town after a month out touring America with Elton John. He said he was glad to be home in Sag Harbor. "My favorite town," he called it. The duo had been playing to adoring crowds in stadiums and coliseums in such places as Fargo, St. Louis, Omaha and Indianapolis.

Billy Joel also has a limp.

"How did that happen?" I asked.

"Jumped off a piano," he said. "You know I'm not 19 anymore. But sometimes on stage, I think I'm 19." Made perfect sense.

Billy was walking me around through his motorcycle collection, which is located on the ground floor of his Sag Harbor home in what used to be a three-car garage. Beginning on June 6, his collection of cycles, about 15 from this house and another 15 from elsewhere, is going to be on display at Christy's Building Art Centre on Main Street, Sag Harbor. The display is to be called "The Motorcycle as Art and Icon." The showing will continue through June 20. [More danshamptons.com]
