Elton John Serendipity!

Hello world!

I was just writing a post explaining my blog's title, which is a wonderful song by Elton John from his 1972 album, Honky Château... here's a link to the song: Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters. You may recognize it from the movie, Almost Famous, one of my all-time favorites. Amazing, amazing, amazing.

Anywhooo, as I was searching for YouTube clips of the song, I came across this gem by Elton John: This Train Don't Stop There Anymore. I love him, but totally forgot this existed! Justin Timberlake plays a young Elton John, with Paul Rubens (of all people!) as his manager. It's the big players of my childhood rolled into one music video. Check out this photo of Justin and Paul.


The second I discovered this, I told best friend who was sitting next to me, and she gasped because she was flipping through a magazine and saw Elton John on one page, and Pee Wee Herman on the opposite page. Crazy, right? Well, I guess you had to be there.

Anyway, I'm going back to what I was doing... watching the Wizard of Oz and taking care of sick best friend. Poor girl gets sick a lot. More about that later. I'm going to try and write every day now that I've got the ball rolling.
