Hi,Arthur is a cocker spaniel and is laying on the floor of this photo:http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/5281424.stmHe was a gift to Elton from his partner David, on Elton's 56th birthday 4 years ago.The other cocker spaniel is a more recent addition & her name is Marilyn; supposedly they are named after Marilyn Monroe & Arthur Miller, according to an interview with Elton.
Thank you so much for the info!It is interesting that the Cocker Spaniel came from SD. We used to have a Cocker and I loved that breed. Our pet, when wagging it's tail, would wag it's whole back end and was so affectionate.Thanks again for the info.
I missed Willie's concert at the Pavillion. Sorry he didn't play an encore. The Believe video is very artistic. It reminds me of Salvador Dali work of art. I assume Elton dedicated the song to Mr. McGovern because of the recent passing of his wife and the untimely death of his daughter. I like Elton's song from the 80's, "I'm Still Standing." That song made him a relevant artist, again, in the "me" decade dominated by Madonna and Duran Duran.
Hi Tim!Boy, the lyrics could go so many different ways on that song! I thought about McGovern and work on ending hunger, his speaking out against the Vietnam and the Iraq war when listening to it.I do agree, the video sure comes off surreal!!!
Your reference to the Iraq and Vietnam wars seems more relevant and credible than my theory. I misspelled "Pavilion" in my earlier post due to "restless right ring finger syndrome." Another lesser-known Elton song I really enjoy is Blue Eyes... Baby's got Blue Eyes...like a deep blue sea...
