Billy Joel: Elton John has 'mom hair'
Saturday, May 25 2013 |
Billy Joel hasn't released an album since 1993's "River of Dreams," its famous cover a painting by his then-wife, supermodel Christie Brinkley.
But he continues to perform -- he toured with Elton John in 2010, and he reportedly stole the show at the 12-12-12 Hurricane Sandy relief concert. In a New York Times feature to be published on May 26, 2013, Billy talks about why he left songwriting, saying, "I got bored with it." He's honest about a supposed feud with Elton, who suggested Billy backed out of their touring deal, hinting that Billy was too afraid to write new songs.
"(Elton) tends to shoot off his mouth — he shoots from the hip," said Billy. "I think his heart is in the right place. Maybe he’s trying to motivate me, to get me mad or something. He’s kind of like a mom. ... He's got mom hair."
