okay, so nigel olsson is the absolute best drummer and backup vocalist of ALL TIME. to be clear: i am NOT nigel olsson. this is a fan page. the #1 rule: you love nigel's hair or you're not my friend. i live by that rule.

i miss dee murray
i. miss. dee. murray.
I MISS DEE MURRAY
i fucking miss dee murray and my life didn’t even overlap with his
why did the universe decide it was time to take dee murray in 1992?
it’s so fucking unfair
i’m very emotional about this tonight
it’s so fucking UNFAIR

#here's nigel's 1978 album cover#isn't his hair AH-MAZ-ING#i love love love it#although i think he might need his bangs trimmed#this is a good album everyone#go listen to it#actually go listen to them all#they're great#my favorite song from this album is rainy day#RAINY DAY#gorgous song#again i think this supports my hypothesis that men in the 70s didn't know how buttons worked#nigel olsson

#like this is what i'm talking about#there's just something about the way nigel looks at people#some kind of intensity i guess#i dunno#it just shows up occasionally#absolutely not trying to start any conspiracy theories here at all#no nigel and davey were not secretly in love okay?#that's not what i'm saying at all#i'm just trying to point out nigel's way of looking at people that makes him look like he's in love with whoever he's looking at#he just happens to be looking at davey here#okay?#nigel olsson#davey johnstone

#he is SO PRETTY#like it's unfair#btw nigel has this look where he legit looks in love with whoever he's looking at#this is that look#it looks like he's looking at davey here#but it could be elton#but elton's looking at that other guy#and davey looks like he's looking at nigel#so imma say nigel's looking at davey#but whoever he's looking at this is that in love look he does sometimes#i really don't know how to explain it#it's just a look he does#🤷#but it's adorable#nigel olsson#davey johnstone#dee murray#elton john#some random guy

#can tumblr handle this?#since it flagged a completely normal picture of nigel#now let's see...#american bandstand#see that look#man i always say men in the 70s didn't know how to button their shirts#BUT THIS SHIRT HAS NO BUTTONS IN THE FIRST PLACE#just...i don't know tassles?#i guess i need to revise my original statement#men in the 70s didn't know what buttons were#there i said it#also nigel's hair is too short#it needs to be longer#nigel olsson
