Billy Joel. My, my.
"I write a new verse of "We Didn't Start the Fire" every few years. Right now, I'm up to -- "A-Rod, Ipod, Jacko's Free, There's No God.'"
When people tell me they love the song "Just the Way You Are," I tell them I wrote it about a transvestite hooker I picked up on night in the village. Sure, it's not true, but it never fails to ruin the song for them.
1982, I was riding my motorcycle when a car ran into me. it really opened my eyes. I realized -- of course, car accidents.
Elton John and I became really good friends. I don't mean "good friends" in that sense. I just mean we slept together."
