Billy Joel Documentary On HBO Max

Just saw this great documentary (part one of two) on Billy Joel — Billy Joel: And So It Goes.

He is such a talented guy and his music is amazing.

I never knew how autobiographical his songs were. This documentary really makes me appreciate his music even more than I did before.

​The first part of the two part documentary covers his time from his start to the end of the 1970s.

It wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows and man, he’s not nearly as wholesome as I thought he was. But then again, he is a rocker.

The people talking about Billy in the documentary is star studded and of course you hear from the legend himself.

This documentary (so far I’ve only seen the first of the two parts) is worth watching.

The story behind the music is fascinating.

Check it out on HBO Max!

Recommended #documentary about the global networks of WS fascists / right wing terror groups.

World White Hate.

m.youtube.com/watch?v=zV4H4R3Y

[ Filmmaker Dirk Laabs' research shows that soldiers and veterans pose a particularly great danger - in the USA, France, Germany, Spain and Russia. Former and active soldiers network globally and are potential assassins. Right-wing extremist mercenaries also represent a danger. This group is potentially even more threatening - due to their combat experience, access to weapons and professional networks. WORLD WHITE HATE unveils the parallels and overlaps between these very different right-wing extremist groups.

How can right-wing terror be countered and stopped? What can be done to protect democratic society, people and state institutions from right-wing terror?

Filmed in the UK, Scandinavia and Brazil, WORLD WHITE HATE charts the development of the threat posed by right-wing terror. It is exacerbated by populist politicians such as Donald Trump and radical right-wing parties.

The documentary WORLD WHITE HATE by Dirk Laabs analyzes the mechanisms of radicalization and discusses possible counter-strategies for democratic societies. The central question remains: “How can we win the digital and real battle against increasing violence from the right?” ]
