My mom was standing in the door of our den with all of this going on; violins sawing away and the basses climbing down into the lower registers, all at fortississimo. She kept looking around, and then asked "What is that ViolaFuryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05796592763194795436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7057552756982475561.post-53929518476715445692014-04-23T09:35:34.305-04:002014-04-23T09:35:34.305-04:00I can relate to that bit with the headphones.

The only radio station that came in most of the time only played country except for Saturday mornings when they would air the top 40 countdown.

Granted, John may well have concurred with the sentiment, but when he sang this song, he was, in fact, singing someone else's words. That must have been tough for Taupin, since he wasn't even a member of the band. John would get the credit for Colin Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03292997431935215499noreply@blogger.com
