The guy who moves to Hollywood at the start of the song is Billy Joel, who moved to Hollywood for a couple years, then moved back to New York. During his stay in LA he was a lounge singer/pianist, and this is much of the basis for "Piano Man." Except in this song he's not a lounge singer but a comedian.
@Vozzy Nope! Billy's biography says it's about Tony Lawrence, a friend who did just what the lyrics say. NOT himself or Richard Lewis as are the rumors.
