Was "confirmed bachelor" the old-timey way of acknowledging someone was gay AF, without actually saying it?
Took me until 2018 to figure that out.

Mostly, yes.
And I only realized it a few years ago.

Ditto.

Makes you wonder about:
Now Paul is a real estate novelist
Who never had time for a wife
And he's talkin' with Davy, who's still in the Navy
And probably will be for life

Navy guys are famous for being homosexual. So yeah, that's interesting.

Well, we only know about Davy, according to this...
“Davy who’s still in the Navy” refers to David Heintz, a man Joel met at a bar in Spain. David’s daughter Lisa explains:
[Dave] met Billy Joel in a pub in Spain in 1972 while he was in the Navy. He married while he was in the navy, had three children. He passed away in 2003 of ALS. It really hurts when I hear this song played on the radio and they leave this part out.
