    Billy needs to do an interview with Rick Beato.
  • @Kloverkill
    Joel was a fantastic guest - totally open and shared some really great insights.
  • @bruceroberts2407
    So interesting to see how the seed of a song sprouts into a beautiful flower of genius when it's in the hands of a master.

    I love musicians (I'm one myself) talking about their creative process. He's one of the great songwriters of his generation. That's why I liked the Beatles documentary, too.
  • @Jamestele1
    Thank you Howard for coxing out a Master's class on songwriting! By Billy Joel no less!
  • @hanswichmann5047

    John Lennon originally wrote "Whatever gets you thru the night" to the tune or groove of the song "Rock Your Baby" by George McCrea. You can one of the studio takes on his Anthology cd box set.

    2:42 It had to be "Honesty". Elton John and Bernie Taupin had already used "Harmony" on Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.
  • @bherber
    We already heard this story many times.... And so did Howard...
  • HAHAHAHA, I just came from "Honesty"!! Hadn't heard that song, in a long, long, time. This HS clip showcases probably my 2 favorite BJ songs. Well, except for the new one, now.

    I would pay big money to sit down and have a beer with his drummer Liberty. I'd be tempted to start by going "wtf kind of name is 'Liberty' anyway?" Then he'd punch me, I'd fall down, I'd get back up, and we'd laugh and have another beer. Maybe.

    Wish I lived in an alternate universe where “Sodomy” is considered one of the classic love songs.
