I read a thing where he considers this song his "baby". 

He loves it.

He hates people that hack it.  And he says everyone does.

He gives free lessons to everyone, whom is so inclined,   so it won't be butchered.

Then he admitted, that he, himself, only gets it right 75% of the time.

We saw him in Houston, many decades ago.  We paid for top floor-seats, and got, exactly, behind a steel beam.  We immediately bitched at the seating-guys.  They told us to shut-up and wait.  We waited more.  And bitched more.  And got told to shut-up more.

Five minutes before the show started,  the flashlight guys came and got us.  And took us back-stage,  up behind the stage.  The front-row behind the stage.  We were the only two there.

We saw the whole show in the front-back row.

he turned around and sang at us, directly, a couple times.

(A cool thing was,  we saw all the back-stage.  The one guy kneeled, next to ten piano benches, all lined up.  It was his job. 

When Elton smashed one,  this guy would run out and replace it.  And run back and kneel.

He probably made big bucks.

I read that they said they went to the premier as ROCK STARS!  MOVIE STARS!

As soon as the movie started,  they started sinking lower into their seats.  They all left before the movie was over.  They have never been so embarrassed.

They refuse to talk about it now.  It never existed.

The goal is to take money from all the kid's pockets.  We knew that.

But, so did all the other bands.

But high-school kids only have so much money.  So we had to get it first.

The boys like us, because the girls like us.

The girls like us, because we have the best plumage.

That's why the boys give us their money.

So they can be like us.
