Giggys what you listening to

[OGKushman]

sorry about your gramps .. enjoy them ... I saw elton in '72 .. wasn't impressed but alas , to each their own

I’m not a big fan by any means. I have heard most of his catalog but this one was new at the time. I’ve yet to hear it anywhere else since either. The lyrics are what caught me. It’s almost an account of his rise to fame. Like …tin foil time…maybe the industry is run by aliens… he obviously knows something we don’t

Id assume y’all aren’t into hip hop like I am, but I’m gonna leave this right here. This is my life growing up in SoCal. So many memories. Looking up to my older bros and their friends with starter jackets. Liquor store hats. Swap meets. And at that time, equality. We all got along with each other back then. Politics weren’t even worth a mention.

I grew up in So.Cali too , in the 60’s….San Fernando Valley , Reseda , Canoga Park , Pacoima

Inland valley. There was a fedco in Ontario. It’s now a police station. Before any malls, or Price Club then Costco’s, in the area that fedco was the be all end all. It was a Sears, Turners Outdoorsman, Best Buy, Tower Records, Dillards/Pennys, Home Depot, Farmers Market with a hotdog stand and icee shop inside.

About 15 years ago my grandpa died and I got his records. Most were big band, and orchestral, but this one Elton John album caught my attention. Why did grandpa have it? That wasn’t him. Inside was a note from grandma that just said I’ve seen the saucers. I didn’t get it, so I played the record with my grandpas 1965 Akai headphones on and when I got to side 2 I was blown away. This was a young Elton I had never heard before. Blew my freaking mind between those tiny little speakers. Listening to it I pictured my grandma convincing my grandpa to get up and dance with her…to this hippy music

As their troubled son ..

As their troubled son ..

to me it sounds like Billy Joel’s inspiration for this
