Billy Joel’s “Big Shot” was inspired by Mick Jagger

Billy Joel says his hit song “Big Shot” was inspired by a night out with Mick Jagger and Jagger’s then-wife, Bianca.  “He was with Bianca at the time, and we went out and I saw the way he was behaving with Bianca and I said, ‘I don’t do that with Christy.’ And he gave me a kind of a ‘C’mon, be a man’ look, and I said, ‘No, I don’t do that with Christy’.”
