Ep 405 - Elton John, Carly Simon, Eddie Money

          With the success of the movie “Rocketman”, we thought we’d dig deep into the archives for an Elton John interview.  In this in-depth chat, Elton talks about why he had to leave Reggie Dwight (his real name) behind, how people misunderstood his music (because of the success of “Your Song”) and how he NEVER thought “Bennie & The Jets” could ever be a hit!  (Warning – this episode contains a moment with our co-host Tom trying to sing the high part to “Crocodile Rock”. Please keep all dogs away from your speakers during unfortunate moment.)

          We also have a great chat with Carly Simon from the late ‘70s.  Carly talks about working with her then-husband James Taylor, how she dealt with a brutal critic and how she sometimes hangs out with fans.

          And finally, we feature at 1979 interview with Eddie Money, who passed away a few months ago.  Eddie talks about how he is and isn’t a typical New Yorker, why he’d love to move to Canada, and how he wants to be remembered.
