@lemurianchick2 жыл бұрын
I enjoyed "Rocketman" as well, however I think the disappointment was that Elton seems to disown this early period for some strange reason. I was in high school in the early '80s and they would play his music like "Take Me to the Pilot" and "Levon." But he had his comeback in 1983 and then it seemed like a lot the earlier songs were not acknowledged as much. The movie was meant to be more light-hearted and his earlier music was very introspective and not suitable for dance numbers, LOL.

Brilliance comes at a cost. A lot of artists have hard, even desperate, beginnings, but this is the catalyst for their creativity. Without pain there is little motivation to move out, move on, move up. The trick is not be bogged down by the past, or if it does dog you, not drown in drugs or booze. At least the sober ones get to keep creating and we are better for it.

Tumbleweed Connection is his best album - most people only listen to hits though, even those that were never so popular until the movie....

These live versions of the Tumbleweed songs are freaking amazing.

I am not an Elton John fan to the point where I ever bought any of his albums, or searched out any of his songs on the jukebox or Internet.. but that doesn’t mean I do not see that he is extremely talented.. over the decades, I have always said that Elton John is on the level of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, ,monsurrat,verge, even Bowie
