I've always admired EJ+BT. "Genius" is the only single word I can think.

It never fails to amaze me why some folk are even vaguely interested in any of this bollocks.

Welp...for better or worse he was a huge influence on me in the seventies. Tumbleweed Connection, Madman Across The Water, Honky Chateau...especially. Incredible singer. Amazing pop melody maker. Obtuse Bernie Taupin lyrics. I ate em up with a spoon.
