BILLY JOEL: AND SO IT GOES – Five hours spread over 2 episodes of this documentary paint a vivid, detailed and thorough picture of Billy Joel the man. I was always a fan of his music, but never knew anything really about his personal life aside from the Christie Brinkley marriage and occasional motorcycle crash. I never found him particularly attractive. By the end of the documentary I was in love with him. He tells us most of his story himself while seated at the piano in his home. He’s engaging, funny, brash, candid…and brutally honest about his journey. You know, a typical New Yorker and I couldn’t resist his charm. In person it must be impossible! All of his wives, current and ex, speak frankly of their relationship with him. So does his daughter Alexa. Band members weigh in, too, as do various family members and friends. Throughout there is an abundance of performance footage and he gives us the lowdown behind the songs. It’s marvelous! Besides coming away from this piece with a new-found admiration for Joel, I also had endless tunes playing in my head for days. John (who loved the documentary by the way) and I danced to some of our favorites during the viewing. Not to be missed. Rock on Billy!! Cheers! Boyfriends – 1; Girlfriends – 1.
