Bernie is a wonderful poet and songwriter. Been listening to Elton since the 70’s. Great memories!❤id love to watch Bernie’s writing. He’s also so handsome. We can’t get our youth back but change to a more seasoned version of ourselves. Thank you to both for all the great memories!

What an articulate expressive free flowing guy Bernie really is. Hardly an umm or ahh in the whole interview. There were times I wished Glenn Shorrock would just shut up and let the poor guy finish. With such a grasp of the language it's no wonder he is a world class lyricist.

I'm Still Standing was a big hit for Elton, but I hate to this day. I consider it the song that began the decline of Elton John along with his Rock Of The Westies album (Island Girl 🤮) There were only 2 good ones after that, Blue Eyes and Sacrifice.
@jdenino60224 ай бұрын
Bernie Taupin wrote the lyrics to Sacrifice. I do like Elton's 70s songs the best.
