I will skip this film. I am, however, going to see the excellent Elton John impersonator Kenny Metcalf. Kenny’s a great guy and puts on quite a show. He’s also a friend.

If you like Elton this clip from Soul Train is a few months before he tries to kill himself. White guy dressed as Lucky Charms trying to get Black Dancers to groove to his song.

Very likely drugged out of his mind.

Seeing them try to dance to Bennie and The Jets is hilarious.

It became a single because a black radio station in Detroit got the ball rolling.
