Billy Joel should have stood up to Bill Maher

Lots of people watched this and commented about how great Billy is to be so patient will the rude interviewer. Obviously Maher is an idiot, but I'm sorry to say that my respect for Billy may have dropped just a tinny bit. He wasn't even allowed to answer quite a few of the questions he was asked.



I wanted to list some of the time stamps of where Maher was obnoxious. Here's just some in the first 35 minutes.

02:30 - don't be an asshole Bill
02:40 - takes out a cigarette without asking if it's okay to smoke
02:56 - he says "my network"!
03:23 - "why"?
03:33 - literally can't shut up! Billy was obviously due to answer that.
04:01 - Billy must be thinking "I'm sorry, am I boring you?"
04:36 - "... if the lyrics are shit?" goes out of his way to say a bad word for the sake of it
05:39 - makes a snide joke and then takes it back by saying he's only joking... so he basically gets to have it both ways!
08:11 - tells Billy that he never writes lyrics in a particular style, even though Billy's previous dialogue shows he was clearly going to disagree.
08:41 - he says that Billy was bullshitting when he claimed "I write the way I speak"
12:37 - self praises himself about the title of the song he tried to write
24:50 - keeps giving examples and makes Billy wait, and then when Billy eventually talks, he keeps laughing at the joke he made
25:27 - interrupts Billy's thought to say the most random thing
30:55 - he should've dug deeper on Billy's decision to not work with George Martin... shame we don't get to hear this
32:01 - again, shut up and let him talk!

 

Bill Mahr is a realist, and Reality TV is just a marketing buzz word for Fox News is legally entertainment, and even our professional comedians all resemble millionaire lawyers and politicians. My advice is to never watch Beavis and Butthead, and blow up your fucking TV just to be sure they're dead.

 

I'm not sure why anyone would expect to get respect from a dick head like Maher!!

 

Sounds like he was high and doesn't really like BJs music. I second that emotion.

 

He's the only left-wing comedian Donald Duck has entertained because, among these clowns, my enemy's enemy is my new best friend and, what the two have in common is money and the mass media. Marher might as well recruit for conservatives, which is actually not a bad idea at all, because their population is imploding faster than any other, and testing their DNA is the most reliable way to determine how they vote.
