This one’s for my Pierre.  I needn’t use any of my words. Thank you, Bernie, for yours. Gulliver’s gone to the final command of his master His watery eyes had washed all the hills with his laughter And the seasons can change all the light from the grey to the dim But the light in…

I’ve never been much of a history buff. Admittedly, I’ve had to look up a few of Bernie’s references over the years (can you say Robert Ford?) and there are probably way more sprinkled throughout his lyrics than I’ve ever caught on to. But this song has always intrigued me.  After all, I am a…

As I mentioned in my previous post about Elton at the Yamaha 125th Anniversary concert, I so wanted to see what was going on in the remote locations across the world. And here it is: My daughter says its freaky, but I say its amazing. And the technology is very cool, particularly since Elton claims…

…well, a livestream Elton John concert, that’s what! Of course, it would have been so much better to be there in person, but the livestream of the Yamaha 125th Anniversary concert wasn’t too shabby.  In some respects, it’s like having a front row seat: My only complaint  – the concert started at 8:00 pm PST.…

The other day, I was sampling some of my earlier posts, and I happened upon “To really go forward, you have to go back to the beginning,” which is about The Union documentary. I was reminded that the documentary is currently playing on HBO, so I thought I’d reminisce. Well, wouldn’t you know? Elton’s own words…

…and today, the road was A1A. Sometimes it’s been Route 13. It’s also been SW 18th Street, SW 238th Street, I-95, I-75 and so many other roads as well. And, one could say, it’s even been the internet highway. I’ve been wanting to blog about this song for a while now, but I couldn’t quite…

Another year passed, another trip around the sun.  Lest that sound like a sad statement, it truly has been a phenomenal year for the Captain and the Kim. I must start out with a confession, though: I did not meet my goal of 65 posts this year (one for each of Elton’s 65 years). On…

I always knew there was something about this song, and I recently discovered one of those “six degrees” connections (actually, there’s two of them). But before I get to my silly little connections, let’s talk about the song first. An underrated and under appreciated song, Answer in the Sky is (imho) one of the boys’…

Ok, so I went a little over the top for Christmas this year. Perhaps that’s because I was lucky enough to see EJ in concert FIVE.TIMES. in 2012!  I’m still riding that amazing high. Wanna see, wanna see? Here’s my splurge for Christmas 2012… Somehow, it just seems appropos…Elton and bling are synonymous, wouldn’t you…

I hope you don’t mind, I hope you don’t mind, but I’m going to recycle a previous post for this Thanksgiving.  The sentiment still rings true, and, well, the song just fits.  I’m going to have to make sure that the Peachtree Road CD is in my car for today’s road trip. I see hope…
