Directed by Susan Lacy and Jessica Levin, Billy Joel: And So Goes is split into two parts, with Part 1 airing tonight on HBO and HBO Max, and Part 2 airing next week, on Friday July 25. The film features extensive present-day interviews with Joel himself (now 76, and recent diagnosed with a brain condition that forced him to cancel his tour).

So It Goes’ will fully prepare you to teach a college class on Joel the angry young man, Ex-Wife Guy, and unlikely superstar.
