I'll be okay. I'm just really, really tired, but nowhere near as tired as others who've posted at the journals. This song will always be my bright light - that one that beckons me towards a more positive place.
Thanks, whoever uploaded it. You may have saved my life tonight, in a convoluted way. Miss you so much, Cynaera...love this song... |

Are you suggesting QEII should have made him ''Dame Elton John''?

My college cafeteria in Brooklyn had a great juke box and though I didn't play I used to hang out there at lunch with the school's hockey team.
One time, when Tiny Dancer came on, one of the team's really tough guys (I believe he led the league in penalty minutes) got up on the cafeteria table and began to sing along to this sweet beautiful love song at the top of his lungs.
People knew who was at the table - and knew how tough Pete was - so no one dared make fun of this big guy singing this sweet song.
It helped me understand how an appreciate for art, music and sensitive emotional issues like love was not at all incompatible with being a so called "manly man." |

My last gf hated Elton John... I tried playing this album while driving slow through downtown Montreal. She told me to just put it down, yeah, I had the window open and her inadequate stereo on full blast. She has dumped me. So, thanks, RP. Thanks Sir Elton, its loud as I listen...
Songs are not just silly things. This one hits me right in my teenaged heart. Now, I remember... and will be looking for my tiny dancer for ever.

It would be Tiny Dancer.
In fact, I'd even pick it without the gun.
Hopefully said madman is an Elton John fan! ; ) |

His best album, before he morphed into a cross between Liberace and Wayne Newton.

LMAO. Cannot be topped. The more I hear of Elton's older stuff, the more I'm impressed. (Never really paid attention to him in his heyday). But this is one of those songs that FM radio simply beat. to. death. Sadly, I can't recall the scene in "Almost Famous" with this song, although really liked the movie. Yes, Bob, it was a good movie. |
