BILLY Joel has angered some of his fans by composing an anti-war anthem, “Christmas in Fallujah,” which starts off: “It’s evening in the desert/ I’m tired and I’m cold/ But I am just a soldier/ I do what I am told/ We came with the crusaders/ To save the Holy Land/ It’s Christmas in Fallujah/ And no one gives a damn.” WOR Radio host Steve Malzberg said on Thursday, “I give a damn.” Malzberg was interviewing Long Island singer Cass Dillon, 21, who was given the song to record by Joel. “He just thought it should be a younger voice, someone about the age of the troops,” Dillon explained. As for Malzberg’s assertion that the song is “blatantly anti-American, anti-military,” Dillon said, “The whole song was inspired by the troops, what they told Billy in their letter and what they told him face to face.” Another verse begins: “We came to bring these people freedom/ We came to fight the infidel/ There is no justice in the desert/ Because there is no God in hell.”
