Billy Joel is celebrating his 70th birthday with a performance Thursday night at Madison Square Garden.
"You become a little myopic about how old you actually are," Joel told Rolling Stone. "I see pictures of myself at the Garden recently, and I go, 'That don't look right.' I got old, I lost my hair. I was never a matinee idol to begin with, and there I am onstage still doing the same job I was doing when I was 16."
