During this concert, Joel started talking to the audience and, among other things, he mentioned his wife Christie Brinkley but then offered to the guys in the audience something to the effect of "isn't she something hey hey hey" to which the guys responded in that locker room way. The whole exchange seemed out of place and an alarm went off in my head as to how odd this was, thinking a man in love would not offer his wife up to the wolves like that. That's what stuck in my head. So my intuition told me his marriage was in trouble but of course who would believe my intuition when their public lives indicated they were happy, so I never told anybody. It was a few months later I heard on the radio that Joel and his wife had separated. They divorced August 26, 1994.
