Z okładki:
Billy Joel has been hailed as a rock hero. A ten-year overnight success, he made recording history in the seventies, yet his biggest triumphs have come in the eighties. He has played for a couple of late-night stragglers, and for audiences estimated at 200 million. He knows grubby suburban bars, and the premier rock venues around the world. Some people say he's a blustery cynic, others that he's a hopeless romantic. Engaged to a famous model, Billy Joel is perhaps the most unglamorous star around.
Billy Joel grew up on the wrong side of the wrong town, and started playing in rock bands at the age of fourteen. He went from Top 40 bands to psychedelic groups, from an ear-splitting power duo to sensitive singer/songwriter. He ran away to become a cocktail-bar piano player, and wound up as one of the most original and prolific vocalists and composers on the international music scene.
On stage, Billy Joel is the consummate performer. Pumping his piano, flying wildly across the stage, cracking jokes with his band, he remains one of the most popular live attractions in the world. No matter what the critics say. And in his quieter moments, Billy Joel is an intelligent, funny, sensitive, complex and, somehow, still innocent man.
This is his story.
