Billy Joel, recently had a new interview with VH1 Radio, and he revealed that he is still writing new rock n’ roll songs daily but he won’t release them. Billy says he still writes new original songs because he’s still learning how to be a musician.
Read what he has to say, here.
Even though he is a retired musician, of course, he’s still making music. He’s a musician, that’s what musicians do. He’s probably sick of the music industry of today so he just makes music just for himself. It would be nice if he made a big comeback though. Never say never though. Maybe he will come out of retirement and release a new album, someday. All we can do is cross our fingers. Billy Joel has been a favorite of mine for years.
On a side note, I’m pretty sure Billy is very flattered that Lindsay Lohan got Billy’s lyrics tattoo’ed on her. I’m sure he is happy about that.

I heard the same thing too. It’s interesting that he has all this material stockpiled. Even though I didn’t really pay much attention to River of Dreams or Storm Front, I would be interested in hearing new material from him even if just because it was 18+ years in the making.
