@JeffreyGoddin 7 месяцев назад

When Colbert challenged the audience to name a Joel tune and he'd sing it (in the meanwhile segment) this was the song I thought of, great some, but also the title doesn't appear in the chorus, so I figured if he could recall the "bottle of red, bottle of white..." THEN I could respect the depth of Colbert's appreciation for Joel. So yeah, great to hear the band throw it out.

Either that was an AWFUL edit or a way off-character move by Stephen. After Billy is trying to talk about the guy he met "He knew what he was talking about..." 2:32 And boom cut-off.

@foto21 7 месяцев назад

Billy Joel is not the only musician who is real. Musicians get into show biz for the music, and the ones that don't make it are the ones not doing it for the music. Sometimes the ones that start out honest get corrupted and learn the lesson of how that works, but Billy Joel is the real deal. People don't understand why he doesn't care for the stardom, it's not really about the fans, though it can be, it's more about the ahole marketing people that work for the labels and the press. Musicians become musicians to not become people like that, and then they are forced to interact with them, so THAT is why the star aspect is tiring.

@yubantwo2086 7 месяцев назад

The Grammy clip revealed that Joel's voice is in top form. That's too fantastic especially considering how long he's been performing, how many shows he performs a year every year, and his age. How devastating that his fascinating story answering Stephen's question regarding his evolution in producing new music was cut off. It shows that the show's format takes precedence over in the moment magic. If Joel would write a book (especially about his life in the public eye), it would fly off the shelves.

Amazing that fan could get Billy to write music again. Based on other interviews I saw Billy on recently, I thought of Salinger too. What a humble grounded man.

@BrandonIslander 4 месяца назад

I saw Billy in 2019 while i was taking my sons trick or treating in Huntington Ny on Main street. I saw this guy with a young girl next to me. He had a hat on, very inconspicuous. I soon realized who he was and i didnt want to bother him and his family. All i did was say "Hi hows it going?" And he replied with a smile " im doing good how are you?" He seemed very comfortable being out with everyone, a few ppl did ask to take a picture with him, which he gladly did. I wouldn't say im a big Billy Joel fan, but now hearing his new release, i find it amazing btw, now i am going back and enjoying his music more than ever. He definitely has a lot of music left in him. Hes obviously getting much older and i feel like we need more from him before he cant perform anymore

@redadamearth 7 месяцев назад

I just wish he'd actually written the song. By his own admission in a recent radio interview, Freddy Wexler wrote it - music, lyrics, title - all of it - along with 2 other writers. Wexler brought Joel the song, 100% complete - and Joel said, "it sounded like something I could have written" - and he just changed a couple of the lines. From THIS interview, however, his publicists apparently told him to stop admitting that Wexler wrote it. There's just a really dishonest marketing push, here. All they had to say is that it's a song that Joel sings, but instead they made everybody think he was writing songs again, which he isn't, sadly.
