Best thing about I’m Still Standing is that Elton always sings it sitting down at the piano. Making fools of us all for years.

Here's an image that sums up the vibe in Toronto fifty years ago: buskers on the corner of Yonge and Gould Streets. Photo by E.R. White, June, 1973. ow.ly/Abuj50OOvSh #TorontoHistory #TorontoArchives
Black and white photo: a sidewalk busker in a taqiyah cap and long vest has taken off his shoes to play soprano saxophone in his sock feet. On a bench next to him, men with long hair play conga drums and barefoot children shake maracas. A woman with hair parted in the middle and a paisley sun dress is passing by in the foreground. In the background is the Edison Hotel. Series 377, item 553.

Bad news is inevitable in life — because, well, 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩. Best to be in the company of a good friend, sez I. I'm pleased, frankly honoured that, w/𝘈𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘚𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘢𝘮𝘦, something POSITIVE has been given to me from that otherwise sombre day.
