Ive been a devout Billy Joel fanatic all my life. and there is a LOT of new info here. One thing that stands out is Billys attempted suicide: Billy always kind of laughed the incident off. saying he "just went around farting furniture polish. Id sit on the chair and polish the furniture." The Borowitz book reveals that (a) Billy was admitted to the hospital in a coma; (b) he did not admit himself into a mental health facility (as he long suggested) but was admitted by the authorities; (c) he did not get himself sprung (again. as Billy has suggested) but had to get his then-manager Irwin Mazur to pose as a psychologist(!) to get him out.And all of this is just the tip of the iceberg. Not to call into question the fans who say they already knew this stuff--but unless youre Billys sister. you did NOT know all of this. And yes. band members. former managers. and family members were contacted for this book. and many of them--for a change--apparently talked. As of this writing. this is by far the most detailed Billy bio out there.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
