Elton John – “Rocket Man”
by Paul
When I think of “Rocket Man” from Elton John I think of 1975.
Probably because it reminds me of a guy at (boarding) school I roomed with for part of that year, whose nickname was connected with a slightly adapted version…
The man himself, i.e. Elton John AKA Reginald Dwight, first came to my attention in 1973 with “Crocodile Rock”, and the following year I took in his “Yellow Brick Road” double album quite extensively, I even have the sheet music of the album.
