Jon Brett on Billy Joel | Talking About My Generation | Episode 5
Talking About My Generation
Tuesday, 8 July 2025 - 44 minutes
In this special episode of Talking About My Generation, Lee Scriven and Dell Brohman are joined by seasoned journalist and author Jon Brett for a deep dive into his brand-new book Billy Joel: Tales Of An Innocent Fan - The Billy Joel Story.
John shares how he fell in love with Billy’s music, the thrill of researching Long Island’s music scene, and what it’s really like to write about a superstar without the usual PR sugarcoating.
From swapping memories of seeing Wings at Wembley Arena to dreams of witnessing the Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl, this episode is packed with nostalgic stories, music history and a look at rock’s colourful characters — including mafia tales, the legendary Pitz Club, and rock’s greatest gigs that never fade.
Pour a drink and settle in for another great chat with the Talking About My Generation gang.
