How fitting! The same Slate podcast on Jim Steinman I recommended yesterday also has an episode (or two) dedicated to Billy Joel:
How Billy Joel Became a 20th-Century Pop Zelig, Celebrating His Heroes by Imitating Them
He earned fame as the “Piano Man”—but none of Joel’s No. 1s are really piano songs, and his hits ranged more widely than any artist of his era and stature.
