...particulary as Kate considers Elton a major influence. Frankly,
it just looks ignorant. That said, if someone didn't know Elton's
music other than the sickening ballads like "Can You Feel The Love
Tonight" (AKA "Concert Piss Break") they could be forgiven. But that
could easily be rectified by purchasing any of the half-dozen or so
"Best of Elton John" collections and discovering one damn fine songwriter
and a piano player who obviously influenced Kate's playing.
