A Creem editor remembers…
Bill Holdship, 'America's Only Rock 'N' Roll Magazine', 2008
THERE ARE loads of CREEM stories to tell, such as the time I answered the editorial phone and Billy Joel was on the other end, angry about a caption ("Dating a moron? Why I am!") that had appeared under a photo of future bride Christie Brinkley. "When you start making fun of my girlfriend, them's fightin' words!" the irate star told me. (Actually, Billy, I tried to explain even back then, the caption was making fun of you, since Christie was the only one in the photo ...)
