The title of this film was decided upon when the director saw a nylon curtain in his hospital room while he was hospitalized for a broken bone.
The eighth album released in 1982. It contains a total of nine songs, including the pre-release singles "Pressure" and "Allentown," as well as "Goodnight Saigon," which was later re-cut as a single.
The single "Goodnight Saigon" is an anti-war song written from the perspective of those who served in the Vietnam War. This song is remembered by people all over the world as the ultimate pop music memorial to the Vietnam War. This album created a new world for Billy Joel, and he himself commented that it is one of his best works.
