I was under the impression (from a friend who is an Elton John fanatic --
seems pretty strange to me, it's not like he's God, or anything) that the
title came from a song off one of their albums; the exact title of the song
escapes me right now.

BTW:  what do people think about Elton vs. Bernie?  Where was the real talent
in this duo?  I think that Bernie got pretty short shrift all those years,
when only Elton was highlighted.  Bernie wrote the lyrics, and for me that's
the strong part of their songs.
