Howard Stern Chats With Jay-Z & Billy Joel

If Howard Stern doesn’t re-sign with SiriusXM after his contract expires next month, at least he went out with a bang. This week, the shock jock completed fantastic interviews with two legendary artists – Jay-Z & Billy Joel.

The shock jock welcomed Billy Joel to his studio for the first time on Tuesday and had a grand piano set up for Billy to play. Howard conducted the interview more like a fan than like a journalist, which made for good listening. Stern called out requests & Joel obliged in most cases. As you can imagine, Howard also got some dirt out of Joel including an anecdote about Paul McCartney visiting Billy’s home. It’s a must-listen interview for Billy Joel fans. We’ve made a playlist of YouTube videos featuring the audio of the entire video, but we’re not sure how long it will be before Sirius has ’em pulled.

On Monday, Jay-Z stopped by Stern’s studio to discuss his new book, Decoded. Over the course of the near hour-long interview, Hova talks about being a crack dealer, his family life, the music business and a bevy of other topics. We made a playlist of this interview as well, so check it out before the clips get pulled…
