728.0. "REG'S STILL STANDING!" by ROMSLS::FARRAUTO () Fri Aug 31 1990 09:53

    Hi, Boys and Girls
    I'm Fabrizio from DEC-ITALY ,Rome to be exact and
    poking in to this conference I was really amazed
    not having found (or did I skip it ?) not one
    note concerning  ELTON JOHN,an undeniable institution
    in the discographic world.Although he undoubtedly
    went(and the process is still on-going) through
    a deep metamorphosis through the years, I don't
    think he lost enamel,he's always there!
    
    By the way,can anyone explain me why
    "This album is dedicated to Nigel Olsson and Dee Murray"
    as excerpted from the "ROCK OF THE WESTIES" LP ?
    Did they die? And if they did,just how?
    
    Waiting replies
    Ciao!!

728.2TOO MANY MBYTES NEEDED!ROMSLS::FARRAUTOFri Aug 31 1990 14:068
    HI Cristophe,
    I'd say it's rather a lament.
    Say something more than a statement.
    Waiting  SOLID replies!
    See you.                          
    
                                                      Fabrizio
    
728.3Keep punching RegSTAR::RDAVISMan, what a roomfulla stereotypes.Tue Sep 04 1990 20:067
    Elton Gian (short for "Giant") is one of the finest singers /
    songwriters / 10-inch-pianists of all time.  I like his "Saturday
    Night's Alright for Fighting" even more than the Bay City Rollers'
    "Saturday Night" - he sounds even tougher, even more street-wise. 
    "Rocket Man" is better than anything Bowie ever did.  His shoes were
    very nice too.  But his enamel is a dead loss.

    Reply .3 is so true and apt; I'm currently seeking pals to exchange
    records of this major contemporary artist I have in duplicate.
    
    Christophe.
    
    PS : I also collect empty yoghourt pots if anyone's interested.
728.5LONELY "CRUSADE"ROMOIS::FARRAUTOWed Sep 05 1990 16:0819
    For Re.3 and .4
    O.K. I give in.
    I played the Romantic Outcast of the situation.
    You two are surely disappointed (and real aficionados)
    about Elton's change and current musical status.
    Actually,even I prefer the Oldies and Goldies .
    But his "TRANSFERT" was no trauma to me,I didn't
    take it that bad.
    Maybe it's because I make a comparison with other
    "supposed-to-be" musicians and so you have to see
    things proportionally.
    Besides this ,Cristophe do you have any means to get
    answers concerning my original request (what has become of
    ELTON's musicmen NIGEL and DEE)?
    THANKS in advance and anyway and pardon my stubborn curiosity.
    ciao!
