jonny, no laws broken that i know of.
Thank you Loh for your interpretation. That sounds like it could be.

Mine is based a lot from the first two lines....


Maybe I have been listening to Sea's video too much...

But, I get the impression it is about a young boy's innocence forcefully being taken by an elite/or elites. ....thus...the innocence the yellow brick road represents has all been removed from his life. dunno


Thank you Jim...yours aligns much with Loh's.

Again, thank you both.

The yellow brick road is likely a reference the quest for more, as in on the way to Oz.
"Follow the yellow brick road".
Yes Jim, I can agree with that. I would also identify it as an establish path through life that many have followed...sorta a destiny to all that is happiness....if you recall all the people in Oz.

Hello Rose and Bob. wave

Do you like a radio station to wake you up?
Instead if an alarm clock..sorry yawn gosh.

Johnny,

What is your take on this song? shock
Way back in 1975 [ if memory serves
TIME mag. Did a cover story on EJ...
Your reporter was in his senior year & John had recently appeared in the bay Area-- at the top of his game...
..what I recall from the article was that EJ' s songs..
,esp. Daniel, rocket man, Levon and .. yellow brick road...would not work in anyone elses voice-- perhaps he meant they would not chart...gold, platinum etc.

Btw, eYe mention Levon because that is a forgotten Goldy....that gets zero air play here in F burg at "classic rock".
Robert...maybe I should relax? dunno laugh Lately I have not had the time to do that....but something to look into I suppose. thumbs up
Hello Bob. That is very interesting about Elton John being the only one who could pull these songs off. I will look into that other song you mention. I do not recall ever hearing it.

Oh, you've probably heard it...but people tend to forget the name of it....and one of the reasons for that...{ Minor point

professor a great many dee jays are Lame.

eYe too, would link it...but I'm stuck in the 70's...
.. don't have a computer anymore & am therefore
Lame.
Yes Bob...you are right. I have heard it.
If they ever let me in the studio
Levon is going right between
..Frosty the Snowman
L...
And Locomotive breath on the X mas play list.
I'm almost afraid of what the meaning of this song equates to- blues

Nice Bob.
