A song by Billy Joel from his 1974 album "Streetlife Serenade." It's a satirical commentary on the music industry and the pressures artists face to produce hits and maintain popularity, often at the expense of artistic integrity.
The one that that special I just saw was Was it Wasn't it Billy the Kid? Is that the name of that song? It's a great one that got me on the Entertainer.
""The speaker mentions "The Entertainer" as a Billy Joel song that was interesting because it was "ripping on Show Business" and how the record label wanted a hit."
