Quote by Billy Joel
When I was 19, I made my first good week's pay as a club musician. It was enough money for me to quit my job at the factory and still pay the rent and buy some food. I freaked.

Summary
This quote expresses the speaker's astonishment and disbelief upon receiving a significant amount of money for their work as a club musician at the age of 19.

The speaker's reaction to this unexpected financial success reflects a mixture of surprise, excitement, and perhaps uncertainty about what to do next.
