Billy Joel: And So It Goes is a two-part documentary with a runtime of 292 minutes, featuring insights from Bruce Springsteen. Springsteen highlights the shared backgrounds of artists, labeling both as 'bridge and tunnel artists.' He notes his connections to New Jersey and folk rock, contrasting with Joel’s New York identity and roots in Broadway and Tin Pan Alley. The documentary celebrates Joel’s songwriting and arrives in the backdrop of Joel's health-related tour cancellations and Springsteen's recent political controversies. The first part premieres on July 18th, followed by the second part on July 25th.
"He was a bridge and tunnel artist, as I count myself as. We stuck to a lot of where we came from in what we wrote about, but we wrote about it using slightly different tools."
"I'm obviously more identified with New Jersey, so I came more out of a folk rock-and-roll background. Billy is still more identified with New York - he had all that Broadway and Tin Pan Alley, which is why his melodies are better than mine."
