[sahonithereadwolf]

Sometimes it's easy to forget how much ass Elton Jon actually kicked if all you know is a couple singles and the Lion King. This is where I like him best, telling a story about a stranger we'll never meet, angry piano furiously rattling like a beast in a cage.

I remember on the run-up to the release of Harry Styles' 2022 film MY POLICEMAN a critic I followed on Twitter would rave in reminiscence of seeing the love scene at some pre-screening and how revolutionary it was. Then when the film was released he walked back his raves because it wasn't how he remembered it and he admitted to maybe over-egging it because he was so happy to see a a gay love scene.

But here's to films/tv shows that don't over-egg. That don't gas up the sex scenes so that when viewers finally see it they'd be like

Instead they could be pleasantly surprised much like I was when I saw Ira Sach's PASSAGES

and the Paramount+ limited series FELLOW TRAVELERS.

Ben Whishaw, I have too much respect for you to nearly stare into your bumhole. I lreserve that for when I'm watching Aaron Taylor-Johnson in SAVAGES.

If only the relationship between Ben and Franz's characters was this wholesome in the film.

-Ben is rumoured to be dating his THIS IS GOING TO HURT costar Kadiff Kirwan of MY POLICEMAN and currently in SLOW HORSES and the charming C4 comedy EVERYONE ELSE BURNS (which is airing in the US on the CW).

Next up for Ben?

Netflix's thriller BLACK DOVES where he will play the longtime confidante of Keira Knightley's Helen.

-He has a short film that people are hoping for Oscars consideration, which will be tough when Wes Anderson's quartet of short films

are out there, but surely it's better than the pair of Pedro Almodovar's short films STRANGE WAY OF LIFE and THE HUMAN VOICE

I know, Ben. They were just the worst!

Surely, GOOD BOY will be better.

What is GOOD BOY about?

"Danny (Whishaw) is a man who attempts to rob a bank with the help of his anarchic mother Jackie (Marion Bailey). But his plans are foiled when confronted by his family doctor outside the bank. What follows is a poignant and original portrayal of grief and desperation."

-A long ways off is the third installment of the PADDINGTON films. PADDINGTON IN PERU will be released November 2024 in the UK and January 2025 in the U.S. Due to the SAG-AFTRA strike Rachel Zegler (THE HUNGER GAMES: THE BALLAD OF SONGBIRDS AND SNAKES) has departed the project. She has been replaced by Gina Cabot of HBO Espana's 30 MONEDAS/ 30 COINS (whose second series is currently airing on Max).

Ultimate Playlist: Men’s Names, D

Skipper Dan by “Weird Al” Yankovic The singer is a failed actor doomed to repeat the same bad jokes every day as a tour guide on the Jungle Cruise ride at Disney World. Look, it’s the backside of water!

Daniel by Elton John Bernie Taupin’s lyrics were inspired by a magazine article about a wounded Vietnam vet who wanted to escape the attention he attracted after arriving back home.

The Ballad of Danny Bailey (1909-34) by Elton John A eulogy for a fictitious gangster in the same vein as John Dillinger. In fact, the year of Danny’s death in the title corresponds to a seven-month period in which the FBI and other law enforcement killed Bonnie & Clyde, Pretty Boy Floyd, Baby Face Nelson, and Dillinger.

Danny Boy by Frederic Weatherly Whether sung by a parent to a son going off to war, or by his lover, this folk song from the early 1900s is a beautiful tear jerker. There have been innumerable recordings since the first one in 1915. I like this one by The Chieftans.

Danny’s Song by Loggins & Messina Kenny Loggins wrote this song in 1966 as a gift to his brother Danny on the occasion of the birth of his first son, Colin. Kenny was a high school senior at the time. Anne Murray later recorded a hit cover of the song in 1972.

Under David’s Feet by Eddie From Ohio A bittersweet love song about a couple who used to meet at the base of Michelangelo’s statue of David. These days will not last.

The Ballad of Davy Crockett (In Outer Space) by They Might Be Giants From their children’s album, Here Comes Science, this parody of the original ballad casts Crockett as a buckskin astronaut.

Dee Dee and Dexter by They Might Be Giants This song was written for Cartoon Network about Genndy Tartakovsky’s popular show, Dexter’s Laboratory.

Now I’m Following You (Part 2) by Madonna Madonna played the part of Breathless Mahoney in Dick Tracy, the 1990 film adaptation of the 1930s comic strip by Chester Gould. She released the album I’m Breathless with songs inspired by the film, including this one.

Man of la Mancha (I, Don Quixote) by Dale Wasserman & Mitch Leigh The title song of the 1965 musical introduces the main character and his trusted squire, Sancho Panza, as they set off to find adventures.

Duncan by Paul Simon Sung in the first-person, the song relates the tale of Lincoln Duncan, a fisherman’s son, who leaves his home in Canada to go to New England, but runs out of money. He meets a young street preacher who converts him in more ways than one.

[itwas50yearsagotoday]

10/5/23: It was 50 years ago today, October 5th, 1973, Elton John released his seventh album Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. So I wrote already a paragraph about this record, but it got lost when my computer just decided to start screaming... not sure what happened, but I'm sure it's related to my refusal to upgrade to Windows II. Anywho, starting over, this record, a double-album, is certainly a top five best album of 1973... even most of the deep cuts are from at worst listenable to at best near classics. We'll start with the four U.S. Top 40 songs first, as I won't cover them by the time this blog is over... let's start with the #1 song 'Bennie and the Jets'... wow... I think at one point in my 1990s days of hating everything un-ironic, I did not like this song... but it drew me back in like Michael Corleone. Such a unique tune too, as it's pretty simple and kind of empty throughout... easy thumpy beat, random crowd noises, Elton on piano and organ... then he hits that falsetto 'BENNIE!"... I mean c'mon! Oh yeah, I was going to say that this album has aged very well... like there's nothing really embarrassing here (except maybe the title of a certain ska song we'll get to). After 'Bennie', the title track was huge too... kind of a ballad, but such a memorable tune... it would reach #2. Then we have the controversial pick... what I mean is, do we like the original 'Candle In the Wind' which kind of rocks a little, or, do we go with the in-concert 1988 version that became an MTV hit, OR, do we recognize the elephant in the room and go with the 1997 version that replaces MM with Princess Diana. Fuck all that, sorry. The original destroys the other ones, and fuck you if you think otherwise... that newer shit is sentimental garbage, and in a way taking advantage of an accidental death. Yes, I feel passionate about this, because 'Candle' fit MM just so well, and it was done so tastefully. My opinion, fine, but I'm mad that it's even an issue. The song would originally reach #6... you can look up the 'reboots'. Okay! And then the 'rockin' song on the record is 'Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting'... I can remember being a kid and getting EJ's first greatest hits on cassette and this song was probably, along with 'Rocket Man', the main reason I got it. I wore that cassette out... and at the same time, wore out my enthusiasm for 'Saturday', but it's making a comeback in my mind. It's totally a fun song, straight up. Now let's talk about the other bangers... opening up Sir Elton's magnum opus is the 11-minute short suite 'Funeral For a Friend / Love Lies Bleeding'... honestly it really doesn't get going until about five minutes in, although for those first five minutes it's like Elton invited EL&P over to play a ballad... still great! And the rest of the song just fucking rocks... I rarely heard this on KSHE but I did... that's the only way I could have possibly known it before hearing the record. Now there are songs on this album that I did not know prior to exploring... some early deep cuts are the very-1973 sounding 'Grey Seal'... not only is this my favorite track on both records, it is a second or third runner-up to my favorite EJ song... I mean it's like he kicked out EL&P and brought in Steely Dan. That's the only way I can describe it... it's polished, but still raw somehow. Same goes for 'All the Young Girls Love Alice'... a much darker-in-theme rocker, but no less powerful. Okay the only kinda dumb thing about this record is the terrible title 'Jamaica Jerk-Off'... really, Elton (or should I say really Bernie T.)...? It makes me further annoyed because the song is kinda cool! It's not some Zeppelin attempt at faux-reggae, it's actually just plain ol' ska... it's very cool! Okay, since this is a double-album let's run down the rest: 'The Ballad of Danny Bailey' and the last track 'Harmony' are both very good semi-ballads... the rest of the tracks scattered area all just fine, but are only slightly above filler. Overall, though, holy dogshit this is an outstanding record. LISTEN NOW!!

9, 10, 15 ;) ❤️❤️❤️

ok hi amber, so ur coming for me i see!!!!! ksfjshdkgjsg is that winky face because u know im about to MONNNNNOLOGUE???

9. Talk about how you got into his music.

listen im gonna make this short bc i was typing this on my phone and she fucking DIED. ok so i mean, hes always been a name ive known. like i cant recall a life not knowing who he is. you know, like elvis presley. one of my earliest, if not my very first Obsession, was music legends. my first favourite band was queen, so he was always in my orbit n stuff. my mum and i would sit and watch queen shows and then we’d branch out into other artists. like guns n roses and stuff like that. i did a presentation on elton when i was eight in school. i was super nervous bc PPL USED TO THINK I WAS SO WEIRD FOR LIKING “OLD” MUSIC jsdhfdjskf ive told u about that, and i was like physically shakin behind my wee paper (written on front and back btw xx) and luckily for baby me, most of my class werent even listening. i would pay SO MUCH money to see what i wrote now. i remember the first line began with, “sir elton john was born in shfksjdghjhg”. 1 of my earliest associations and like . acknowledgings of his music and existence was when steve irwin made a movie and they had someone sing a steve irwin-ified version of crocodile rock and i was obsessed w the credits bc of that ksjfsghkjg. i remember hearing the bitch is back for the first time and being shocked bc id always kinda seen him as like a... RATED U FOR UNIVERSAL type character until that point. lol. i remember my mum introducing it to me. i got my first album of his when i was a little more serious about collecting music, well as serious as a ten year old can be, and it was the definitive hits one from 2007. i had a lil refrigerator ;-) in my room and u can bet ur ass thats where my wee cd lived. i loved tinderbox a lot. still do; one of my fave songs. ok peace out ill stop. hes jus very dear to me. anyway so basically: his music’s like sunlight, i needed it 2 survive. i was always destined 2 find it

10. A song or album you always recommend to people. ohhh man. i recommend EVERYBODY goes and listens to em all. or even just a few that grab ur attention. i truly dont believe theres a Bad one. ‘blue moves’ is my fave n i realise it’s maybe not for everybody, but i think there is NOTHING like it. it’s so good, a perfect collection, a storyline almost, and it is special to me. so i recommend it anyway

15.  If you could customise your own setlist for a private concert, what songs would make the cut?

OHHHHHHHHHHHH.. my god. ok, again, lemme go A LIL ham and indulge a sec. songs id wanna hear before me right this INSTANT 

Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cowboy, Return To Paradise, Harmony, Better Off Dead, Pain, The Ballad of Danny Bailey, The Fox, Something About The Way You Look Tonight, Healing Hands, Too Many Tears, Where To Now St. Peter?, Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding, Cage The Songbird, Original Sin, All Quiet On The Western Front, and then lets have an encore!!!!! The King Must Die, Rocket Man, Curtains
