Title: elton John? Post by: Tasha on February 07, 2008, 01:02:52 PM I have just been reading a 1973 article from ZigZag magazine in which elton john is interviewed and has this to say..
"Also, I'm really into bands like Fairport and Lindisfarne — the English people don't know what they've got in their own backyard. It's the same with Americans, of course, but people like Fairport are so ******g good, any of the lineups, but particularly with Sandy Denny and Dave Swarbrick — Liege and Lief — but I still love the other albums they've made. Also, Ian Matthews, who I think is an incredibly talented person but again is ignored here." have you ever met Elton? Title: Re: elton John?
