Book synopsis

"Angry Young Man" is a look at the superstar's entire career, including his troubled youth as a gang member; the controversy surrounding his first hit, Captain Jack his legal problems; his storied marriage with Christie Brinkley; and, his continued artistic frustration. The Beatles did "Michelle" and "Yesterday", he has said. They also did "Revolution" and "Helter Skelter" and they weren't pegged as balladeers. But because I had hit singles that were ballads, I became known as a balladeer. I've always resented it. Joel - one of the top ten touring takes of the decade - has continued his standing road date with Elton John on the never-ending Two Pianos tour. It was one of the world's top-grossing tours in 2009, just behind U2 and Bruce Springsteen.
