There is one particular incident that showed how much she wanted to benefit from her husband’s career. While Billy Joel was madly in love with Weber and drawing inspiration from her for his music, Weber was never shy about asking for her own financial gain from the songs he would pen down for her. It was never a secret that Elizabeth Weber had a great affinity for money. Many of them found Weber to be controlling, manipulative, rude and much more attracted to the rock and roll life than her husband. While Joel was completely smitten with her, people around him were quite worried about her. “Yes, she can be difficult, she can be confounding, she can be impossible but she’s obviously a better businessperson than you are”. “My take was ‘She can ruin your faith with her casual lies/she only reveals what she wants you to see’- all second person – but then it comes back to me ‘She’s always a woman to me’”. Talking about her image in the song, Joel said,: Because of her undeniably better way of doing business, she was often viewed by others as ‘Unfeminine’.
