Elton John Concert

On October 4th I had my first big night out. I went with Rachelle, Justin and my dad to the Elton John concert at Staples Center. Sir Elton was so good and I even enjoyed a glass of wine. Elton John has so many amazing songs, but I've always been a sucker for I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues. The line, "I simply love you more than I love life itself" gets me every time. Some of the highlights were Tiny Dancer and my other favorite Your Song. Another highlight though, was watching some of the fans dancing. The lady in front of us reminded me so much of the SNL music teacher skit. It was hilarious. Another older gentleman down on the floor had some amazing moves complete with spins every few beats. It makes me happy to see so many people not caring and just having a great time. I really think live music is one of those things in life that is tough to beat, especially when the musician is Elton John. 

The piano was so shiny, you could see Elton's reflection in it perfectly. After every song, Elton would stand up and face each direction, except ours acknowledging the crowd. We assumed he didn't face us because he faced us while playing.
