"Kill the fatted calf" from Bennie/Jets is a biblical reference from the story of the prodigal son. Prodigal returns home and the family celebrates with a feast--kill the fatted calf for the meal.
The short clip where Elton sits at the piano, wearing what looks like a golde 50'ies jacket, and with some kinda funny, fluffy haircut... Does anyone who if there's a longer version of that? Does it belong to some video or something? Just curious, 'cause he looks really cute... :)
When love holds you up for ransom, walk away and don't look back (but that shit hurts). God; how does Bernie come up with such concepts. I suppose by reading and being a "weatherman of the words.:
@1forlooker he reads alot I assume. In war and peace (novel by Tolstoy) there is a line where they say, "come on ever... we'll kill the fatted calf tonight." Hmmm....... I can't seem to place the song. ; )
