Interesting yes. Maybe it was just the way it was presented in a list that
seemed like a list of former presidents or something...:>) The actual
process of writing songs and music I find very fascinating...and it's
definately intriguing to wonder about what inspired a particular song. I
was thinking the other day about the partnership of Bernie Taupin and Elton
John. For years I've heard Elton's voice singing Bernie's lyrics and my
mind naturally attributes all the emotions and thoughts to the singer though
I realize upon thinking about it that those words came from Bernie and must
have been inspired by things in his life. Then they're added to Elton's
music which has its own inspiration. This kind of partnership seems unusual
as songwriting is such a personal matter.
