Me + Rocket Man = True Love
Finally, oh finally after 34 years I have a date with the Rocket Man himself, live and in person!!! He has eluded me for years, moments to see him, just slipped through my fingers, but not this time. Sir Reginald will be within arms reach of me in just a few months, I am shocked stunned, and so excited! My BFF Jenny and I used to spend hours and hours listening to every song from those '70's albums over and over. We both knew all the words by heart. Last weekend I went to see this movie, and loved the part where they were singing Bennie & the Jets, trying to sing the words, while I am sitting there singing all the words in my head. Sometimes the lyrics are hard to understand on some of his and Bernie's songs like Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, the lyrics are kinda goofy. :)
Now this is how I remember him, cool huh? After 40 minutes of grueling attempts on getting tickets, my son finally got through and captured 2 tickets for his mama! My daughter and I will be going and I told her she will have to hold me up and keep me under control. I do however wish he had his old voice back, but hey after these many years I will take what I can get!! Do you have a famous celebrity you would love to see? And how many of you have seen my Elton???
Have fun...this should be quite a show. I love all of his songs...

How awesome! I, too, love Sir Elton...something my hubby has never understood. My favorite way to get through a major house cleaning is to jam and sing at the top of my lungs to Elton CD's!!!!

Fun! You will have a fabulous time! Okay - here is something really embarassing that I will admit too. Back in the 90s I was a huge New Kids on the Block fan - I just read that they may be reuniting for a tour - I'm so there if that happens! LOL.

There is no equal to Sir Elton! I don't care which genre of music you prefer, you can't helpbut LOVE this man!! He is a singularly amazing performer, and I, like you, have loved him FOREVER!

I saw Elton John here in Chicago around 1988. It was an awesome concert. You will have a great time! Congrats.

Woo hoo! I just found your blog. You are so going to LOVE Elton John. I saw him last September. What an incredible show! I found an old picture of him and put it on my blog. You will be so thrilled! Looking forward to the FarmChicks show in June! Jamie V

Lucky you!
I would have LOVED to go to the Elton John/Billy Joel concerts from a couple years back....That would have been the ultimate!
Have a wonderful time!
