If placed in the proper context, I can see why the priest asked you to meditate upon this song. A bit unorthodox, but nonetheless valid and worthwhile advice [Loved (by He) incomprehensibly, despite our failings, betrayals, and sinfulness].
This priest had his heart in the right place.
BTW, I too am a Billy Joel fan. He was just here in Las Vegas (about three weeks ago).
In retrospect I think it is humorous - at the time it was very meaningful. And God bless him - I would have walked on burning coals if that was the penance he wanted to give me. I am eternally grateful to any priest who administered the sacrament to me - no matter what.
