Re: Thread of Dreams
I've become semi-obsessed again to learn how he died, but I won't do the one thing I'd have to—contact someone in my hometown. Part of my curiosity, I think, is an awareness of reaching an age where more of this will start happening. Fifty is still young to die, but it's not as freakish as twenty-five, y'know?Mimi wrote: ↑17 Aug 2020, 12:25pmSounds like a book I'd read.

Re: Thread of Dreams
Apparently 3 years ago I had a dream that I was dragging the corpse of Elton John about in a suitcase. It came up on my Facebook memories today but I have no recollection of it.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board
Re: Thread of Dreams
Can you go back in time and do it before he turned into such a crappy songwriter. Ive never been a fan but fuck he's dropped some huge loads of shit in the latter years, even if it did chart.

If not sooner. That would at least spare me "Why they call it the blues and candles in the wind nonsense.

Re: Thread of Dreams
I'd say he was still a good songwriter through 1976's Blue Moves. After that it's so, so fucking dicey. I don't think he had more than a half-decent single to his name for like two and a half decades at that point. His 2000s albums are mostly pretty good, tho.
