Billy Joel said he can understand the thinking behind the idea that his signature song “Piano Man” is set in a gay bar. He’d recently discovered the suggestion that the track’s narrator is a naive straight man who’s not sure what’s going on around him, which is why the regulars in the room ask him, “Man, what are you doin’ here?” But the main argument centers on the lines about a conversation between a real estate salesman and a sailor.

Don’t expect a new album after the surprise release of Billy Joel‘s first new song in nearly 20 years. “Nope!” he bluntly answered, when asked about a larger studio project by Variety. “Who makes albums anymore anyway?” he added. “I think the only person making new albums these days is Taylor Swift or Olivia Rodrigo. I don’t know other people who make albums. I don’t know what the marketing of that is like now.” Part of that marketing effort might have been appearances at the Grammys and the national broadcast of a glitzy concert at Madison Square Garden. But then the New York show was controv...

The 74-year-old singer / songwriter recently put his 26-acre Oyster Bay estate on the market for $49 million and joked he is planning to retire to Florida "like old Jewish guys from Long Island do".
