Yeah I read up on the history about the song—you’re spot on!
I believe he said to his dad “isn’t it sad that she has to work that type of job at her age”
His dad replied saying no it’s amazing she’s doing that. She’s doing her part in contributing to the community. It’s giving her meaning and a sense of belonging.
Which got Bill thinking, we really push elderly to the side and expect them to just sit back and not do anything, when it still counts as time on Earth
Thanks for sharing that!! The back story is amazing, and the meaning of the song is amazing! 🙌

I'm also a huge Billy Joel fan and hearing him describe the part where she was contributing to her community at an elevated age literally changed my view on life and how I go about my life.
