A popular fan theory suggests that Billy Joel's "Piano Man" is about a straight man performing in a gay bar.
Billy Joel has recently become aware of the theory and finds it amusing.
The theory is based on the song's lyrics, which suggest that the piano man may be in an unfamiliar environment.
Joel admits that the theory makes sense, considering the song's characters and the piano man's lack of time for a wife.
Joel finds the theory "very funny" and appreciates the audience's enthusiasm for the song.
While the theory suggests a gay bar setting, it's also possible that the patrons simply admire the piano man's talent and believe he deserves a larger audience.
Joel enjoys the audience's involvement in the song, as they often know the lyrics and sing along.
