      @@scottwillis6487 try having Bernie go on stage and just say the words to tiny dancer without any music or flare behind it. Bernie himself said he couldn't do the on stage part anyway even if he could play an instrument or sing. A song isn't a song if it's just words with no music or musical structuring to it, both of which Elton dealt with

    Never been to a Billy Joel or Elton concert. A friend of mine works for Billy. He was out of town for a Billy show. His wife was at home. She had a medical emergency, He was notified. He was back home in 2 hours to hold her hand as she died. I asked, "how did you get on a plane so quickly?" He told me "Billy Joel private jet. Just me and the pilot". WOW so cool. I read up on Billy. He left high school because he didn't feel he needed a diploma. His thought process was "I am not going to Columbia University; I am going to Columbia Records". Long live Billy. One of the coolest dudes around.

Same could be said for Led Zeppelin and some other UK "album" bands from that time.
