A wonderful fan book like I used to collect as a kid on my favorite music and TV/Film stars. I have some from the seventies about Elton John and BerniA wonderful fan book like I used to collect as a kid on my favorite music and TV/Film stars. I have some from the seventies about Elton John and Bernie Taupin. This British book has great photos and lists Elton’s albums in a really picturesque manner. Listing the albums is really important because that’s the way we saw music during his heyday. Albums were the most important and we analyzed how they were put together and the total quality of the music in them. This book is joyful on the way the biography Rocketman is not. It brings in the story of his professional life as well as his personal life. I loved this book and it brought back great memories. I highly recommend it for Elton John fans....more

Eric Idle does start out a bit stiff but it quickly dissipates as he gets going into his teen years and college. It just keeps getting better and better. Funny account of sitting at the Tonys and watching Spamalot lose almost all awards but finally winning the big one. Accounts of the lives of Carrie Fisher, Graham Chapman, David Bowie and especially George Harrison. Robin Williams too +. I’m so glad I listened to the audiobook but probably the book in the future. ...more
