Big brother Truman!

I miss you!

Do you miss me more than electricity?  :D  :laugh:

And next week you are crossing the big pond for the first time, I am so proud of you!

I never thought to look, but here it is! 

It's poor quality, but I saw myself a few times in the swaying crowd during "Blue Eyes".  I had a beard that year. 

Here's to you, blue eyes!

I *think* I saw you, or someone my mind wants to assign your identity to, lol. We'll have to watch it together and you can show me.

I remember that summer, omg, "Sad songs say so much" was the tune of the day, the radio played it over and over (I was glad they had quit playing Mr. Roboto) I was living in east Tennessee with a deaf Canadian guy and a local who was a total homophobe. The Canadian had grown up in London and his parents still lived there and he bemoaned the fact he had given up his summer to hang out with his girlfriend, and miss showed like this one.

The local guy loved Elton John, even if he was a "fag".  :laugh:  He thought SSSSM was the best song ever written.

There are time when we all need to hear the radio.

I think his wife made him get rid of them. He got married that summer, and his grandmother reportly had to "sit down and take a powder".

Ive always been so grateful that Elton didn't end up a sad case with AIDS..  I think we were all susceptible back in the day of all that partying and Sex!

He did a lot of partying too, by his own admission. I think too he has had a pace maker since 1999.

I know I remember thinking when Rock Hudson died it would be just the begining. When Freddie Mercury died, it was pretty bad. I am glad we still have Elton, and Donna Summer.
