In 1974 my life goal was to marry Elton John.
!!!! Kinda looking in the wrong direction, there.
But that makes me stop and think - it was SO obvious!! Why didn't we know till he officially came out? Wasn't that in the 80s, or something??
And yeah, in 74 I would have been kind of young to realize that, but I mean society in general.
Elton John was one of the first 45s I ever bought on my own. Someone Saved My Life Tonight. I think I was 8 or 9.
Sarah and I saw him a few years ago. Such a phenomenal performer, I'd see him again in a heartbeat. In fact, I'd like him to be my gay bff, sigh.
MTE, what song would be in your 80s montage?
Here's the dvd I'm watching. Elton John - One Night Only Scroll down for the setlist.
I know right? In 1974 his Greatest Hits came out and I played that record to death. I think he came out a couple years later, and my first thought was well there goes the wedding.
I couldn't decide! What's an epic packing song? (Walk On would be amusing...)
Nice! He IS phenomenal in concert. I can't remember which years I saw him live, but both times they were amazing shows.
Poor young Comet!
I Will Follow?
Oh, how long ago?? We saw him in....'08, I think? And he hadn't lost a thing. I was shocked at how much I enjoyed it. I mean, I knew I loved him, but I expected it to be more of a nostalgia thing, but no, it was a legitimately kickass show. In my top three performers of all time.
I have absolutely NO idea when they were so I just googled and found this amazing page.
Eltonography.com: Elton John Concerts and Tours
hang on I'm gonna see if I can figure it out.
Okay, first of all, I guess it was '06 when we saw him, not '08. It doesn't have the details up for our show, but here's the one he played the night before in Toronto. Ours was very similar.

Cool
Mine were 1980 and 1998. No details on my shows either but there are the details on the shows a day later or earlier.

1998
Elton John Concert Details: 21 August 1998
Unfortunately I can't remember if the same songs were played. I just remember having a fabulous time and singing along with every song!
I missed Jem?
Sarah is getting me to watch more Dr. Who. I've watched all of the current season so far, and now we're going back and watching the first episodes of when Matt Smith took over. I think we're starting...his 4th episode?
When I first saw him, I was like "omg, he has the head of a circus freak!!!" Now I'm "he's kinda hot, in a dorky way." How did that happen??
And packing's not the easy thing,
When the only baggage you can bring,
Is all that you can carry on.
OMG you guise, I am buzzed and I'm excited because my job is organizing a trip to Six Flags at the end of the month! I've never been and I wanna goooooooo.
Oh and I love me some Tiny Dancer. And Benny and the Jets.
And I know what you mean about Matt Smith.
Next time for sure!
It's bizarre, isn't it? He's the polar opposite of conventionally attractive. And yet one you get used to the shape of his head, you're all "Matt Smith as The Doctor!11!!!"
I was serious about the "how did this happen" thing. I dunno. It crept up on me. Weird.

Exactly my feelings. I go through fan pages sometimes to look at promos, and the more I look at promos, the more I .
My kids are totally gaga over him VP.
I've only watched a handful of episodes, relatively speaking, butwith the River reveal, I'm like "I need more...NAO!!!"
I swear they share DNA with Sarah. We MUST be related in some way!
I know!!!!!That totally blew my mind. Steven Moffatt is the cruelest man in the world, making us wait until September.
I know!!!!!
