A street in Billy Joel's hometown was officially renamed in honor of the legendary New Yorker.
NEW YORK -- Billy Joel's hometown in New York honored the music legend by naming a street after him. Billy Joel Way officially replaced a section of Audrey Avenue in Oyster Bay, Long Island on Thursday. Joel also received a Key to the City.
'This was from the New York State Legislature: 'You want us to rename a street after you?' And I said, 'Yeah but don't you have to die first?' And then they came back with the answer, 'Yes,' and I said, 'Honestly, I'd rather still be alive and not have the street.' But now I've got the best of both worlds,' Joel said at the ceremony.
