2. I heard (thecelebritycafe.com)the song was a reference to the sexual position of #69. Bryan would have been 9 in 1969 so no guitars (maybe a guitar) no backseat of cars or high school reference in the song would have happened for Bryan.

4. Maybe I'm getting my years mixed up, but I know that when I sat at my favorite bar called BJs in Mt Kisco, NY in 1985, the song that played almost constantly was "Piano Man" w/ Billy Joel and once in a while they would play "Purple Rain" or "Sailing"
