@ovid Ah .. this resonates with me, as I've been someone who was let go, not because there may have been issues with my performance, but because the process was broken.
It was a convenient termination for management and for the organization. Not so convenient for me, but I managed. #AndSoItGoes

A Trip Worth Taking: Billy Joel Documentary ‘And So It Goes’
Talk about bringing back the memories and the feels. The excellent Billy Joel documentary, And So It Goes, is a must watch if you’re a fan. Or even if you’re not. I am a fan and have been since I worked a load-in, load-out shift for a Billy Joel concert back in my college days and partied with his road crew.
The excellent two-part documentary chronicles the ups, downs, and of course there’s plenty of Joel’s music, because it’s always about the music and where it took Joel and those of us who grew up with him. It’s more than a trip down memory lane, the four hours is a well spent vacation back in time. I highly recommend this.
It’s interesting, and I dare say rewarding, that two of the music artists I grew up with, Joel and Bruce Springsteen, have had excellent recent documentaries about their careers. As they and I both hit later decades of life it’s a good way to look back and dredge up memories often buried in the hurly burly of the current day to day. I consider these documentaries on HBO (or whatever it calls itself this week) gifts well received.
For those interested further, there’s a playlist of the music from And So It Goes available on all the usual music streaming services. If your library, like mine, is filled with the entire catalog of Joel’s music, it’s worth adding just to track and hear how some of his songs have matured, yet not lost any of relevance, and even gained both relevance and resonance with time.
You can find more of my writings on a variety of topics on Medium at this link, including in the publications Ellemeno and Rome. I can also be found on social media under my name as above.

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!
7/26/2025 Update… Saw Part 2:
Part 2 of the documentary finished up to current day Billy’s story. Man, he lived quite a life.
The genes are strong in that family. His half-brother looks just like him, and his eldest daughter has his big eyes. And the musical talent throughout his family is amazing. His half brother is a conductor of an orchestra, his eldest daughter is a singer/songwriter like her dad, and his little daughters have an ear for music too.
Billy definitely has been through a lot, including losing his money to his manager, who was using him as a personal bank account. He did earn back quite a bit of money, but had to go back on the road again.
I never knew he wrote a classical album. That’s a cool trivia fact.
Again, it’s a must watch. He’s a helluva musician and guy.
