God Tier: Paul the real estate novelist

High Tier: John at the bar, Davy who's still in the navy and probably will be for life.

Mid Tier: Waitress who's practicing politics, old man making love to his tonic and gin, Billy Joel

Low tier: The businessmen slowly getting stoned, the manager

How the hell does the old man not get high tier at least?

Odradek · 2016-12-09 00:39:47

That's true, put the old man in high tier

Billy Joel is low tier

You know what, why doesn't the waitress get high tier too? That's a hard job

Odradek · 2016-12-09 03:24:46

The waitress is going to make it, I'm sure. The real mark of a good Piano Man character is despair

Billy Joel is on the list

If we're ranking this by despair and dreams-to-success ratio shouldn't Billy Joel be at the bottom

Odradek · 2016-12-09 15:21:12

No because Billy Joel has always wanted to be Bob Dylan, and he never will be

Hexartes · 2016-12-09 15:32:00

Does the Rocket Man factor anywhere into this?

Odradek · 2016-12-09 15:35:26

That's Elton John

Hexartes · 2016-12-09 15:43:17

That's not an answer
