There’s footage of him performing “We Didn’t Start The Fire” while playing a guitar? I didn’t know he did that. Can he play guitar better than Nick Cave did with Grinderman? He also doesn’t bash the song in the film, there’s just about a minute devoted to it and the film quickly moves on.

All of his marriages seem to have ended for really pathetic reasons. I didn’t know he lost the first wife because of a motorcycle crash and I didn’t know he lost Christie Brinkley because he couldn’t stop getting drunk as a skunk and I didn’t know he and the third wife just decided to get divorced one day. She’s like “I said, do you wanna get a divorce? And he said…yeah” That moment made my jaw drop.

I knew about the suicide attempt that he detailed in “Tomorrow Is Today,” but I didn’t know he attempted it TWICE.

I’ve been hearing “Tell Her About It” and “The River Of Dreams” in grocery stores for years without knowing either song was Billy Joel, that’s really fucking stupid of me.

The first time I remember hearing anything bad about Billy Joel was when I mentioned liking one of his songs to a friend in high school, who went “Billy Joel’s a fucking idiot. He trusted some people with all of his money and they dicked him out of millions of dollars.” And now I get to SEE that story!!
