Elton

You can not have a bad day when you've turned on the TV in the morning and seen Elton John. God, I love that guy. Has he given us some great songs or what? He's deep, insightful... so bright and on target. He's fought his demons, and the guy is still standing. Still alive, making great music. It's unreal. I'm watchin the CMA's tonight, just for you, I hope Ryan Adams will be on.

Too cute, talkin bout makin Vegas better. It's a good effort but a losing battle... why not B'way like Billy & John (a big budget show on Lennon is in the works)...your best buds? More bio...so you could get in more of your catalog, I mean, Lion King....could not even get in NY, but was fantastic in SF. It's enough of a laurel, but a legacy truer to your contribution and story, which is very interesting, would be better. You said, "the worst thing in life is to be boring", and you haven't been, so please, don't make people watch any more of this Abba shit...for two hours... that is inhuman.

I understand he has just signed a deal with ABC to make a sitcom about a flambouyant rock star, based on him.

Aside from making the charts every year for like 30 yrs., he's engaged every medium successfully, he is pervasive. He's part of the culture, beyond music, like Lennon, Elvis. But, Elvis burned out. John was ready to rip again just before he died... to think what we've missed. Elton survived. The only comparable I could think of would be McCartney, who mostly hangs around his estate for the past 30 yrs. Dylan has not really kept up the good output. Elton works hard and often and nurtures younger artists.
