Oh that sooooo sums up Elton's lyrics for me. What an artist! I remember the first time I heard Candle in the Wind I had tears in my eyes. Not just for Marilyn and the tribute to her, but for all the other Marilyns ... the Elvis - James Dean - Montgomery Cliffs - all of them ... but for me him choosing Marilyn to specifically point to her ... I was so moved. I would have liked to have known you ... but I was just a kid ... christ how many of those old time stars have you thought that about? Well spoken!
I cried for shoes .... til I met a man with no feet.
