Of course. Like me, Bolan loved America and its mythology.

Been trying to listen to listen to Elton's early records in tandem with reading a biography of the man and not finding much ro recommend.

I really like the Goodbye... stuff though. I'm sure he's not the only one to have done it and I'm sure if you're in the know it's all been covered in interviews etc but can anyone tell me why he reuses so many songs on later albums? (Grey Seal, Madman Across The Water).
I can just about handle you driving like a pissed up crackhead and treating women like beanbags but I'm gonna say this once and once only Gene, stay out of Camberwick Green!

Elton was great, Bolan was a wee fanny.

Kate Bush has always quoted Elton as being her biggest influence, along with Roxy Music (and Bowie).

Yeah, but can't we say anything positive about Elton?

You're on form tonight Matt.

Well done indeed for avoiding the obvious and going for something a bit left field there.
