![]() It matters because 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 years from now people will refer to ‘Rocketman’ as a historical document … and it’s a lie. I’m sure there will be lots of conversation about this movie and lots of people saying “why does it even matter if the movie is good”. Why so much attention to detail for a few walls yet Fletcher appears to not give a fuck about history, both for Sir Elton and for Queen. Celebrating Sir Elton John’s 32nd studio album recorded during the COVID-19 pandemic. If that wasn’t done backstage at the Troubadour, then they did a magnificent job or recreating what it looks like. The backstage area of the Troubadour is absolutely perfect. Snapping his singer/songwriter tethers early on, John soared to international superstardom beginning with 1970s Your Song. Considering ‘Rocketman’ has gone to such great detail in presenting, for example, Elton’s first sexual experience, it is bewildering that the musical legacy of Sir Elton John has been completely thrown out in the trash. Like his indelible Rocket Man, Elton Johns music occupies the upper echelon of the rock ‘n roll stratosphere. Indeed, it does contain some of Johns most expressive work as an artist, but with the showy stage presence and pop melodicism still under construction. ‘Rocketman’ was directed by Dexter Fletcher who completely fucked up the historical accuracy of Queen’s ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ biopic. Tumbleweed Connection is part of the early catalog of Elton Johns work that Guns N Roses singer Axl Rose reportedly once said he would love to own the publishing rights to as a work of art.
