Line up the jokes...

Billy Joel Wishes He Could Take Back a Fourth of His Songs

A few interesting tidbits in here. I didn't realize he hadn't put out an album of new material since River of Dreams (30 years ago!) and that he had lost his motivation/inspiration for writing new songs. I don't know if that realization came after he was sued for allegedly stealing the River of Dreams song, although as I recall, that suit went nowhere. But maybe he realized he had lost whatever songwriting skills he had and decided to hang it up. Also, he says he refuses to do the farewell cashgrab tours. Which... is a lot more than can be said for some other acts.
