_ _ Outrageous.
You're a great musician and a great singer.
_ Yeah. _ _ _
_ _ What I love, dude, is that you said to Tommy that you want to be an individual.
That's what this is about.
I mean, this great Billy Joel songbook, I mean, you guys have done amazing things with it.
Most of you have done some very _ [G#] interesting arrangements to them.
And you gave a very sensitive, touching, moving performance [F] on one of his classics
when you couldn't even [N] make it any different, but just making it so simple made it different.
And by the way, I love the hair, I love the voice.
You definitely are a rock _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
star.
Be an individual. _ _ _ _ _
