Finally shelled out the clams for the new single ($12.95 in Raleigh, NC...Ouch!), and lo and behold, I like it. I mean, I really like Rocket Man. Yep, the guy who doesn't like The Ninth Wave or The Sensual World got bowled over by an Elton John cover. I thought the arrangement was nice and sparse, and the performance was very good. Candle in the Wind didn't do anything for me though... I don't hear the passion in Kate's version that comes through in the original. Ya win some and ya lose some. -Jonathan whitcomb%aurgate@mcnc.org
