  An Innocent Man
Joel is a man with a serious case of 'tiude, but he has found a new love, and though he has been burned once before, he tells himself he is ready to try again.
Next comes the title track, which is not about a prisoner wrongly convicted - it is actually about a man protesting to his woman that he is innocent of the deeds she accuses him of, but she won't listen to him any more.
An album that is a throwback to that classic era of 50's and 60's pop, doo-wop, soul, and R&B. Out of all of Billy's 'experiments', this is the ones that works the best.

For example, if I, a Shi'i, deny my beliefs to protect myself; and, as a result, an innocent man is blamed instead, then I must come forward, at the risk of death, to protect that man; but when my denial serves no injustice whatsoever, then I MUST conceal my beliefs to protect myself.

 The Ayn Rand Institute: FAQ
An oft-repeated story claims that Ayn Rand took her last name from her Remington Rand typewriter while she was living in Chicago in 1926.
Moral perfection is an unbreached rationality—not the degree of your intelligence, but the full and relentless use of your mind, not the extent of your knowledge, but the acceptance of reason as an absolute.
An error of knowledge is not a moral flaw, provided you are willing to correct it; only a mystic would judge human beings by the standard of an impossible, automatic omniscience.

 The Forgotten Innocent Man by Lona Manning
It raises the frightening possibility that an innocent person was accused and convicted of a childish concoction of fantasy and fear.
Halsey, who had grown up in an era when it was all right to tickle children, pinch their cheeks and give them candy, got a crash course in the sensibilities of modern child rearing.
In response to this article and another scholarly paper written by Lona Manning, Ross Cheit has posted a website, www.ManningDebunked.org, in which he attempts to dispute Manning’s research on the case and her critique of his article.

She turned out to be a key eyewitness who corroborated the fuzzy account of the man who confessed to police that he committed the murder.
The article said another man had confessed to the murder; an eyewitness corroborated the confession; no physical evidence linked Tennison to the crime; and the prosecutors' two main witnesses at the trial were young girls whose testimonies were at best inconsistent, at worst fabrications.
The police and the prosecutor didn't turn over key pieces to Adachi, including the other man's confession, the eyewitness' initial corroboration and a trial witness' admission that she was lying about having seen the murder.

This Friday is the day he is scheduled to become a dead man. Serious accusations have been made about the honesty of witnesses at his trial, the actions of the prosecution, the competence of his defence lawyer and even the reasons for his execution date.
His hope of justice comes, oddly enough, in the form of an injustice perpetrated against him by one of his guards.

I also like Joel's take on the redeeming value of love expressed in his Carole King-inspired "An Innocent Man," with its bass guitar intro, Joel's tender piano melody, and the recognition that heartbreak exists but that one should not let that stop others from trying to heal the wounds.
An Innocent Man, Billy Joel's 1983 follow-up to the seminal Nylon Curtain, is a heartfelt tribute to the doo-wop and rhythm-n-blues based rock and roll music of the late 1950s and 60s.
"An Innocent Man" has a pulsing bass undertone very similar to the classic doo-wop song "Under The Boardwalk," the type of romantic vocal made famous by such groups as The Platters, The Regents, and The Diamonds.

Surely the chance of allowing an innocent man go to his death should bother you, as a devoutly religious man.
A six month delay, as suggested by Pat Robertson, and an investigation into Demps' claims, will not prevent his death if those claims are frivolous; if they are valid, you will have done one of the noblest acts a human being can do -- you will have saved a life.
If Demps is innocent as he claims, justice is not only denied for him and his loved ones, but makes the act of his calculated murder obscene--one of the worst mortal sins.

 'Houston Chronicle' Suggests Innocent Man was Executed   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Published: November 19, 2005 5:00 PM ET It is often said that while many innocent men and women have been released from death row in recent years, there might not yet be one fully documented case of an innocent person actually put to death by the state.
But an article in the Houston Chronicle for its Sunday edition strongly suggests that an innocent man--or rather, a teenager--was executed, 12 years ago.
The forewoman of the jury says: "The bottom line is, an innocent person was put to death." The prosecutor says that at a minimum Cantu should not have been charged with capital murder, based on testimony of one eyewitness.

 BLACK MENAGERIE: INNOCENT MAN VICTIM OF ANTI-ARAB FEAR
Five-month-old Sangita Persad, the daughter of Riviera Beach, Fla. native Antoinette and her Trinidadian-native husband Vishnu, could be 44 years old before she really gets to know her father, who will be nearly 70 by the time he finishes the 43-year sentence he received in Palm Beach County's first successfully prosecuted "road rage" case.
Others are saying that Persad, because he looks like he could be an Arab, is a victim of the post-Sept. 11 hysteria that was sweeping the nation and Palm Beach County during his trial, at the height of the anthrax terror here.
Another state witness, Gene Pullen, who testified that he was the closest witness to the driver the night of March 2, 2000, identified another person, not Persad, from the exact same photographic lineup that J.D. had picked Persad from.

 Billy Joel : An Innocent Man - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
And that's how his homage to pre-Beatles pop, An Innocent Man, was conceived: it was designed as a breezy romp through the music of his childhood.
Joel's grasp on history isn't remarkably astute -- the opener "Easy Money" is a slice of Stax/Volt pop-soul, via the Blues Brothers (quite possibly the inspiration for the album), and the label didn't break the pop charts until well after the British Invasion -- but he's in top form as a craftsman throughout the record.
That giddiness is infectious, helping make An Innocent Man an innocent delight that unwittingly closes Joel's classic period.

"An Innocent Man" has all the elements to put us through an emotional wringer, but the movie never works up any enthusiasm for them.
The film opens with scenes designed to show Selleck as a happy family man and a dedicated airlines maintenance supervisor.
As Selleck tells one aircraft mechanic that there's no compromise on safety, and diagnoses a tricky twisted cable for another, the music and the editing rhythm make the sequence feel like a TV commercial.
