you know who’s gay? paul the real estate novelist who never had time for a wife and davey who’s still in the navy and probably will be for life
New headcannon: everyone in that song is gay except the Piano Man who has no idea he’s playing at a gay bar and the staff and regulars have a betting pool on how long he’ll take to finally figure it out. So far John is ahead.

Ok I reminded myself of the Piano Man lyrics and yep, it’s definitely a bar full of gay dudes. Billy Joel is all “Oh no, these poor lonely men are all single, I will cheer them up with a song” and they are down with it, because it’s funny and/or because they think he’s hot. Billy Joel isn’t my cup of tea but you do you, bar dudes. I feel for John the failed actor with a crush on the oblivious Billy, though. “YES I KEEP BUYING YOU DRINKS. WHY DO YOU THINK THAT IS”.
This is canon
