We were before the MTV generation and I’m glad we were because we were real artists.

LOL. One of the knocks on Sir Elton in the 70s was that he wasn't a real artist. He was just pop fluff. And there were plenty of no-talent acts from the 60s and 70s. Terry Jacks was worse than anything the MTV era produced.

"Mad Man Across the Water" was hardly pop fluff. But yeah, right after 'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road', it was all downhill for him.

Well, Elton she's really keen!

She's got electric boots, a mohair suit.

You know, I read it in a magazine.
