I never disparaged Canadians' ability to rock, although I started to reconsider when I found out that Justin Bieber is a Canadian export.

Interestingly, Reg Dwight is now married to a Canuck and they built a house here in Ontario, where I live. Canada rocks—contrary to what many folks Stateside will tell you.


Never knew that "Levon" was about an actual person. According to the all powerful Wikipedia, EJ and his partner named their son "Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John". Interesting. Thanks, Poose and RP!

Neither have I. Actually, I'm not sure I've heard any one say that.

And considering Rush just got inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame yesterday, there's a strong argument that folks stateside are saying Canada *does* rock.

So far? You think he may start to produce worthwhile stuff again? Interesting. . .

I believe his middle name was originally spelled "Lavon". I've never heard many stateside folks disparage Canada's ability to rock.

Yes, but if no one stateside will admit that Canada rocks and we're left taking the word of only Canucks, how is that evidence of anything? We got a lot of folks down here who swear that the McRib is a good sandwich, but that don't make it so.

It took me a good ten years to really get this song. Funny how things like that happen.

Captain Fantastic holds up as well as anything else he's done previously. It's Island Girl where he started sliding downhill.

But the early years were quite the ride. Miss the old Elton, not the Elton we're stuck with these days.


Spot on assessment! Captain Fantastic is my favorite album of his and that is saying something; Island Girls is indeed where it all started to come apart. {#Yes} {#Sad}
