Before Musk “misinformation” is any fact or opinion which opposes liberal narratives.

Amoreena
Tiny Dancer
Your Song


Wow, you are going way back. Those are from three of his very earliest albums (Tumbleweed Connection, Madman Across the Water, Elton John) with Amoreena being fairly obscure despite its use in "Dog Day Afternoon".

The thing about “misinformation” is, it’s all in the eye of the beholder.

Way back indeed. If one pulls them out of their collection, spins them on the turntable my bet is the kids would be amazed.

Or just the way back machine would be cranked up for some great piano and vocals

And yes, Dog Day Afternoon is Al Pacino at his best with a great tune.

Goodbye Elton John...

We really knew you after all

You lack the grace to inform yourself

While lefties around you scrawled

Elton John LOSES four-month battle to stop YOU from discovering he has settled his sexual harassment case with British male worker

Singer, 69, spent four months trying to keep case from being made public
Ex-employee brought sexual harassment claim against him last August
The case was settled out-of-court and all accusations were withdrawn
But Court of Appeal dismissed Sir Elton's reporting restriction application

He once quit in the middle of a concert I attended. It didn’t stick. That was decades ago. Sorry to see his take on Twitter but Twitter is probably better off under Musk. At least we are peering behind the curtain now.

Like Barbara Streisand, I love “some” of Elton John’s music. But his queer life and absence of morals are deplorable.

Elton j\John is annoyed because Musk is is removing all the child abusers and child porn from Twitter.

"I love your music. Hope you come back. Is there any misinformation in particular that you're concerned about?"

Perfect response. Polite. Explain WTF you’re talking about you big dumb poof. Only polite.

The poof will not be able to respond.

Except for “Burn Down the Mission” (and maybe the syrupy “Love Song”), “Tumbleweed Connection” is a very conservative album. “My Father’s Gun”, “Talking Old Soldiers”, and “Country Comfort” are very culturally conservative.

Country comfort is a great tune. He gets the pedal steel -he or Bernie Taupin-of the Sounth.

So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough
Back to the howling, old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny-back toad
Oh, I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
