In a guitar magazine last year, Billy said "Catcher in the Rye" was his favorite book because he likes how Holden Caulfield was a non-conformist and even thinks of him as kind of a proto-punk. I've always thought the song was about Billy comparing himself to Caulfield, something I think everyone who reads that book does.
