Way back in 1982, when cable television was new, the Home Box Office network ran the Billy Joel concert special Live From Long Island. Now, HBO is back in the Billy Joel business, in a very different way. Earlier this year, HBO Max — that’s what it’s once again calling itself — announced plans for a two-part Billy Joel documentary called And So It Goes. (Since then, Joel canceled all of his planned concerts because of a brain condition, though he assures Howard Stern that he’s “not dying.”) The first part of the doc debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival last week, and it’ll air next week. It reportedly gets into some very gnarly moments in Joel’s history.
