Billy Joel在靠近Miami的Sunrise演唱會上跨年,零點過后唱起了Miami 2017。Billy在這首歌寫了一個現實主義的科幻故事,紐約沉沒,紐約人都搬到了Miami,然后在2017年的Miami,老紐約人給孩子講述當年的紐約。在現實中的2017年元旦,在Sunrise,Billy對大家說,雖然現在來到了Miami,但紐約并沒有沉沒!911后,Billy針對這首歌說過的那段話,讓所有New Yorker都記憶猶新:"I wrote that song 25 years ago. I thought it was going to be a science fiction song; I never thought it would really happen. But unlike the end of that song, we ain't going anywhere!"
