it was amazing

bookshelves: 2020-goal, memoir-biography

I feel like I just sat down and drank oodles of Earl Gray while hanging with Elton John.

The stars represent my respect for his talent, his self-effacing personality, and for his way too big heart. How this man survived, mostly body and soul intact, is a minor miracle when compared to some of his high wattage peers.

If you love his music, or grew up in the 60-70s, or are just a true music aficionado, I highly recommend this read.

Elton John is a true musical genius but he is also a human being who owns the good, the bad, and the ugly of his life.

Around 10 years ago he canceled a concert in La Crosse, Wi. at the last minute because a snow storm blew in and he was worried about the safety of the fans driving in from around the region. He promised to come back, which he did several months later. Fans who couldn't make the rescheduled date were given full refunds.
How's that for nice!
