I know this has probably already been answered, and i already asked it somewhere else, but i really want to know if anyone knows who joe is from "joe was born in new york city/ son of paul and catherine." one of my buddies was interpreting the song as jim standing up for gay rights because of the later line "as long as you keep a straight face..." etc, i don't if that really works as an interpretation, but it would be interesting to know who joe is and how he relates to jim.
