TIL a Billy Joel biopic called "Piano Man" has been greenlit, but no rights for Joel's music, name/likeness, or life story were granted

The David Bowie biopic Stardust had the same issue, and was terrible maybe not as a result of it, but it certainly didn’t help

Hi, my name is Jilly Boel and I play the harpsichord. I live on Staten Island and they call me the "Harpy Man". They sing, "Fling us a tune you Harpy Man! Fling us a tune for we. For we're all in good feeling for harmony, and you'll give it to us for free!"
