It's a great song in its own right, but the new video took it onto a whole new level. A book i'm reading prompted me to revisit the video. I'm glad you liked it.

I agree, it's a great imaginative thread, and I doubt I will hear that song again (which i play a lot) without thinking of that video.

Yet another reason not to like Elton John

I'm interested to know which book.

First Man by James Hansen. It's strictly for space buffs because it is heavy going in places, as the previous owner of the book found out - it clearly hadn't been read. These days it seems only billionaires can go into space, but in the 1960s only the elite of U.S air force/navy pilots got on the astronaut training programme. 'the right stuff' they were known as, and they didn't come much 'righter' than Neil Armstrong. A most remarkable man.
