I know some of you were eagerly awaiting this, so here it is. Newbies who wonder what Elton has to do with Tolkien...note the OT...and remember that The Elton is nothing less than the Embodiment of the Music of the Spheres, that same Great Music of which Tolkien wrote...

"...But now Ilúvatar sat and harkened, and for a great while it seemed good to him, for in the music there were no flaws. But as the theme progressed, it came into the heart of Elton to interweave matters of his own imagining that were not in accord with the theme of Ilúvatar; and he sought thereby to drown out the harps and flutes with his piano, and to replace the music of Ilúvatar with the Crocodile Rock." -- The Ainulindalë, as interpreted by Flame of the Westies -- "Go not to the Finns for counsel, for they will say both no and yes."
