“I try to stay out of politics.”
So to stay out of politics the first thing he says in an interview when asked a non-political question is political.
He’s a no talent hack.
That’s bullshit. I don’t know anything about Billy Joel’s politics. He’s certainly no Jim Carrey.
He’s not my favorite musical artist, but I very much like a lot of his work. To say he’s a “no talent hack” is just despicable. He was part of a core group of post-Beatles artists during the 70s who rushed in to fill the gap, an impossible task. The core group includes Joel, ELO, Elton John, Steely Dan, Fleetwood Mac, Steve Miller, and others.
