????????????????????

One can only hope. ;-) I am more intrigued by the whole Withney Houston soap opera.

Can't he take Billy Joel with him? I thought that bastard had promised to stop making music.

Elton John did prety well. Gale

I wonder what Hendrix, Bolan et al would have been doing by Reg's age.

Would they too have turned into dodgy old queens by the time they were fifty? (I admit to really liking EJ's early stuff, but has he recorded anything but crap since 83? (including that bloody Monroe song!)

Track record for most of their surviving contemporaries is iffy, that's for sure. Marc would still be releasing albums one a year to a low-key fanbase, I suspect, but he would have perfected the talk-show thing and been a perfect pundit for hire to this day, and his attempts to stay in touch with 'the kids' would have been sharper in the end than Elton's hamhanded attempts (EJ's most recent loves -- the Strokes and the White Stripes! wonder where he heard of *them*). Hendrix probably would have given up the guitar for free noisemaking and would be laughing at all the wannabes.

"EJ's most recent loves -- the Strokes and the White Stripes! wonder where he heard of *them*"

Same place as the rest of us, I suspect (with apologies to those who *do* actually have a direct mental link to music genesis central)

Besides, the Strokes are so this year. It's time to kick them to the kerb and love the BRMC instead! (Ride! Mary Chain! Together at last!)

Bowie is a contemporary. So Bolan might have been rocking up in films like Zoolander.

Elton seems to be answering Tom's old "show us your ... " pub question.

I very much doubt it. He probably has NME covers faxed to him so he can think he's hip.

It would be SO COOL if EJ had nme covers faxed to him!! Goofy and sad, yet way cool.

nitsuh is telepathic, ogden, so apologise to hi… oh, yeah, as you were
