So sad to hear of his passing. I was one of those teenage music geeks who pored over liner notes (and carried a major Linda Ronstadt crush) so he was on my radar early. And as an insufferable music snob in my 20s hated "Eternal Flame" for "ruining" the Bangles.

Now I'm an old softy who teared up when I played it the other day. Thanks for all the great work, Billy.

Fascinating interview with a highly talented and experienced songwriter. It’s sad he’s gone but thankfully we have his music, not to mention your timely interview. Great work, as always.

What a great piece, Billy was a legend! That bit he said about the reservoir was moving and is something I worry about myself. But I guess all you can do it keep writing for as long as you can.
