In the music video, the uptown girl was Christie Brinkley, who was Billy Joel's girlfriend or wife at the time. If I remember the song correctly, Billy Joel sings that he's in love with the uptown girl.
So I'm not so sure I get the book-jacket-juxtiposition joke.
Billy Joel had thirty three charted hits. He owns several mansions. When he performs at MSG, he commutes there by private helicopter. He was married to Chrissie Brinkley and remains on friendly terms with her. He has attempted suicide on several occasions........Is there such a thing as Overweaning depression. Alexander cried because he had no worlds left to conquer. Billy Joel cried because he didn't have a single thing to feel blue about.....Well, he's getting old and life doesn't last forever. Me, I'll breath a sigh of relief when it's over. It must be really depressing to have all that fabulous stuff and realize you're going to lose it soon. Still, suicide doesn't seem a proper solution to the dilemma,

I sold that tweet short by not targeting (hash tagging) naming Lena.
That's hilarious, Lem.
Now juxtapose it with Lolita.
Nice one!
I found that just that way. I didn't move a muscle other than to click the phone.
Somebody at Target put it together. I just have to keep my eyes open and my batteries charged.
That is what Lena says about sex.

Not is she that kind of girl, she's actually worse.

Girlfriend when the song was written, IIRC
Billy Joel collects, restores, modifies, and maintains motorcycles at his shop in Long Island. Makes him okay in my book.
While we're listing Billy Joel's many accomplishments, I recall that he sued his brother-in-law for embezzling 15 million dollars.
How much money do you have to have before someone thinks they can get away with taking 15 million of it?
Te salut, Mister Joel!
