| | Billy Joel |
 | | Joel, still struggling against his shabby economic and social circumstances, was denied his high school diploma due to excessive absenteeism, ran away from home, and was arrested on suspicion of burglary. |
 | | In the spring of 1980, Joel released the LP "Glass Houses", theoretically a harder-edged album that was a response to the punk and new wave movement. |
 | | Billy was eager to get back on the road and resume his tour, however, under the advisement of his physician, his September and October concerts were rescheduled for November and December. |
