"Only The Good Die..."

"...Young" is the wrong word. The good ones die early. It's less how aged you became, and more whether the world was sick of you yet. If the world wasn't sick of you yet, then you were one of the "Good Ones."

For a lot of people, it could never be too early.

Hey, that guy does a great job of nailing he Joel inflections without sounding bad!

He doesn't quite grit into it enough in the choruses, though.

This is actually a good song. I guess I don't give Mr. Joel enough credit.

I was more just referring to the general saying and sentiment, but thank you for reminding me of the song.
