    What are the two newspapers that Billy Joel mentions in his song "New York State of Mind?"

    		The New York Times and The Daily News.

    the song:
    Some folks like to get away
    Take a holiday from the neighbourhood
    Hop a flight to Miami Beach
    Or to Hollywood
    But I'm taking a Greyhound
    On the Hudson River Line
    I'm in a New York state of mind

    I've seen all the movie stars
    In their fancy cars and their limousines
    Been high in the Rockies under the evergreens
    But I know what I'm needing
    And I don't want to waste more time
    I'm in a New York state of mind

    It was so easy living day by day
    Out of touch with the rhythm and blues
    But now I need a little give and take
    The New York Times, The Daily News

    It comes down to reality
    And it's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide
    Don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside
    I don't have any reasons
    I've left them all behind
    I'm in a New York state of mind

    It was so easy living day by day
    Out of touch with the rhythm and blues
    But now I need a little give and take
    The New York Times, The Daily News

    It comes down to reality
    And it's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide
    Don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside
    I don't have any reasons
    I've left them all behind
    I'm in a New York state of mind

    I'm just taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River Line
    'Cause I'm in a New York state of mind
