2. And then married her. So like guess that therapy helped him feel better about it in the end..

3. Therapy and meetings can help you, no joke. **I know*****.*** If it’s not for you, I understand. But it can help you when you hit the dark spaces in the middle of the night, 988 will help. Reach out, please.

4. Therapy helped him forget about that pesky friend he was feeling guilty about fucking over. Then he wrote another story song.

5. We should all know less about each other

6. You couldn’t waterboard that outta me.

7. he sounds like a real prick.

8. This was many decades ago at this point.

9. all while in his band Attila. wonderfully awful music. the song “Brain Invasion” features the first ever recorded blast beat afaik.

10. Every time I hear the opening of Piano Man I want to kill myself.

11. Weird angle for sympathy “I’m a suicidal scumbag!”

12. Only a womanizer to me

13. Was this written by AI?

14. Well there was the lady who was nuts and she stole her daughters like 15 yr old boyfriend then went all out on the crazy and would tell her daughter and her whole group of friends that Billy Joel had called her and told her to beat them all. So her and the boyfriend would beat them up. Apparently, this went on for a long time. The kids were all pretty shocked to find out Billy Joel never called one time, or so he says…

15. wtf – I fucked my friends wife now I have to commit suicide? JFC is this real life!!??

16. The AI-Man must have just read Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs which has a little quip about this.

17. His suicide attempts culminated in [this](https://youtu.be/6xN3hbJG2tc?si=ZaWyIFzhDezlq3B7) song that will always be my favorite song of his.

18. Only the good die young

19. I have forever quoted his story about him trying to end his life by swallowing Pledge as a teen.

    Glad he only succeeded in polishing the furniture!

20. He has been a bit of a grub with women for a very long time. He was 36 and Elle Macpherson was only 19 when they dated.

21. Why didn’t he just go on a drive?

22. Famous people straight up have 5 year marriages. They have risk and longevity of opening a restaurant.

23. Had to be a big shot.

24. goes to show even the most talented people battle demons we never see. Mental health matters no matter how famous you are

25. Also, Billy Joel’s songs suck ass

26. In a weird effed up way it did kinda snap me out of my distress, cause I felt so stunned and confused, like ‘did that really just happen’?

27. I always wondered what happened to him

28. Not the Green Day guy… Incase anyone else thought that

29. I feel like anyone who listened to Captain Jack on repeat already knew this about him decades ago

30. You’re only human 🎶

31. This was the longest time ago

32. Batman literally couldn’t get this info outta me
