Angry Young Man (Billy Joel)

Joel’s father was a classical pianist. Billy reluctantly began piano lessons at an early age, at his mother’s insistence, his teachers including the noted American pianist Morton Estrin and musician Timothy Ford; he was bullied because of his interest in music rather than sports.[citation needed] As a teenager, Joel took up boxing so that he would be able to defend himself.[citation needed] He boxed successfully on the amateur Golden Gloves circuit for a short time, winning twenty-two bouts, but abandoned the sport shortly after his nose was broken in his twenty-fourth boxing match.
