"Billy Joel began his encore at Toronto&amp;apos;s Air Canada Centre on March 9th with &amp;quot;We Didn&amp;apos;t Start The Fire,&amp;quot; a song he&amp;apos;s performed hundreds of times before. But when it came time to spit out &amp;quot;Rosenberg&amp;apos;s H-Bomb, Sugar Ray, Panmunjom,&amp;quot; he briefly lost his place and the whole thing fell apart. &amp;quot;Wait a minute,&amp;quot; he said as he stopped the band. &amp;quot;That ain&amp;apos;t right. All you gotta do is fuck up one word in that song and it&amp;apos;s a train wreck.&amp;quot;\r\nBilly Joel&amp;apos;s Garden Residency Begins With Salty Jokes and Sing-Alongs\r\nJoel has never hid his disdain for &amp;quot;We Didn&amp;apos;t Start The Fire&amp;quot; and he&amp;apos;s kept it out of the set many nights on his 2014 tour. After the screw-up, he briefly thought about skipping right to the next song, which happened to be &amp;quot;Uptown Girl,&amp;quot; but the crowd didn&amp;apos;t like that idea one bit. &amp;quot;It&amp;apos;s the same thing verse after verse,&amp;quot; he complained. &amp;quot;Just the words change. It&amp;apos;s one of the worst melodies I ever wrote.&amp;quot;&amp;#xA0;\r\nThe band kicked back into the song and Joel began with the &amp;quot;Joseph Stalin, Malenkov&amp;quot; verse, meaning nobody had the thrill of screaming &amp;quot;Marciano, Liberace, Santayana goodbye&amp;quot; at the top of their lungs. Missed verse aside, the rest of the song went ahead without a hitch. &amp;quot;That&amp;apos;ll be all over YouTube tomorrow,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;It&amp;apos;s okay. It was an authentic rock and roll fuck up. We&amp;apos;re not on tape. You don&amp;apos;t see much of that anymore. Ok, let&amp;apos;s hope we get through this one.&amp;quot;\r\nThe slip-up was a rare mistake on Joel&amp;apos;s triumphant comeback tour, which hits Madison Square Garden every month for the foreseeable future alongside select U.S. arenas and stadiums over the next few months.&amp;#xA0;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
