Billy Joel will surely be going into his next performance, tomorrow at Wrigley Field, with a heavy heart, as he lost his mother, Rosalind Nyman Joel, this past Sunday at age 92. There hasnt yet been public comment from Joel, but Billys ex-wife Christie Brinkley praised her in a statement: At sad times we look for ways to find the good to lift our spirits, So I have only to imagine what Rosalindas Eyes have seen to find cause to celebrate a life well lived! Just in this year alone she saw her son, Billy Joel receive the Kennedy Center Honor, the highest cultural honor possible, from the President of the United States no less, (and Rosalind greatly appreciated the Arts!) She also saw her son get a regular gig at Madison Square Garden where he already holds a record and where Roz is welcomed on a first name basis! And her eyes sparkled with pride and joy as the former Gilbert and Sullivan chorus girl, watched her granddaughter Alexa perform at the famed Cafe Carlyle surrounded by a large group of her friends enjoying themselves. I know as a mom myself that when you see your kids happy healthy and enjoying their passions you feel content and happy. Rosalindas Eyes will live on not only in the song inspired by her, but in Billy, and Alexa. . . and Nanny Roz herself would find that worth celebrating.
