Elton John postscript

But why doesn't anyone ever show the love to Bernie Taupin? Didn't he write the lyrics to most of these songs? And aren't the songs great because of the lyrics? I mean, if instead of "Bennie and the Jets" Elton John was singing "Jenny and the Pets," would it be as exciting? (And yes, I am assuming you think it's exciting.)


So here's a photo of Taupin. Thanks, Bernie, for the songs. This blog's for you!
