For the record, Billy Joel and Elton John are a bit before my time. Or, should I say, they started out before my time. The thing is, they’re still going. Their best stuff, in my opinion, was in the 70s, but they’ve lasted, because they’re genuises. That’s right, genuises. I’m going out on a limb here (there’s a secret shame quotient here), so go with me.

It’s just amazing that they’re performing, together, at the Rose Quarter. The show, November 10, sounds like it’ll be one of those once-in-a-lifetime events. They both have reputations as great showmen—everyone I know who’s seen either of them says they’re sort of super-human, so stage savvy and talented that you’re sort of transported. Hey, I’m going; I know all the words to most of the songs anyway. And you know you do, too.

Ciao,
Emily
