The 1970s singer Bruce Springsteen called the best songwriter: “Built like the Rock of Gibraltar”
The best kind of wordsmith.
Billy Joel
The 1977 song Paul McCartney was insanely jealous of: “A song you wish you’d written”
The purest of love songs.
The 1980 song Billy Joel never wanted to play live again: “This song really sucks”
Reading the room in the wrong way.
The 1975 Bruce Springsteen deep-cut that Billy Joel calls his favourite
The two musicians have been friends for a number of decades.
“Horrible”: Billy Joel released his biggest hit in 1989 and he’s regretted it ever since (he shouldn’t)
“I mean, I hate the music.”
The 1986 album Billy Joel wanted to forget about: “Material I’m not proud of”
Losing the plot a bit.
