"In the second installment of And So It Goes, #HBO’s new two-part #documentary about #BillyJoel, the Piano Man explains why he wore a yellow #StarofDavid in August 2017, during his residency at Madison Square Garden, in his most extensive filmed account of his family’s experience in the #Holocaust.
“I was angry,” Joel, who wore the star on his jacket in the aftermath of the #UnitetheRight Rally in #Charlottesville, said in Susan Lacey and Jessica Levin’s documentary, the first part of which debuts July 17. “Here they are marching through an American city saying ‘#Jews will not replace us.’ We fought a war to, you know, defeat these people.”
Joel also called out #DonaldTrump for his infamous remark that there were “very fine people on both sides” of the rally. (#Trump, some note, said he didn’t mean neo-#Nazis and #whitesupremacists, but others attending the rally, spearheaded by white supremacists.)"
