Before Billy went into the music business, He always wanted to become a history teacher and he has a teaching license in NY to teach history. The song 'Leningrad' shows Joel's appreciation for the history of the Soviet Union and the feel of the Cold War in which he was raised. The song 'We Didn't Start The Fire' lists historical events from his birth through the mid-eighties-the first thirty-five years of Joel's life, reflecting Joel's fascination with culture and history. This attitude was manifest as advice in the song 'Tell Her About It', as well as in an expression of his own need in 'Honesty'. Joel has always had a trusting, open attitude in his relationships, both business and personal. 'Uptown Girl' was a love song about the seemingly mismatched romance between himself and Christie Brinkley, Alexa's mother. Similarly, his song 'The Downeaster Alexa', combined his love for his daughter with a depiction of the plight of boat captains in the offshore fishing industry. Joel's daughter Alexa also has been a motivation for lyrical content he penned 'Lullabye' for his daughter. The song depicted living in industrial Allentown, Pennsylvania in the early 1980s. He also is known for celebrating life in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania, which he tributed in one of his most popular songs, 'Allentown,' released in 1982. Joel has always relied heavily on his experiences in writing his songs-perhaps the best example is that of 'Piano Man', which he wrote out of playing regularly at a piano bar in the early 1970s.
