. In His Song: The Musical Journey of Elton John, he told Elizabeth Rosenthal it was about the alienation confirmed country boy Bernie felt when he was in London. The same alienation inspired him to pen the words to "Tell Me When The Whistle Blows" from the 1975 Captain Fantastic album.
@larrywiener@larrywiener In the same book, when it was pointed out that some people have suggested "Border Song" is anti-Semitic, Bernie laughed: "Don't ask me why, I don't know. Most of my friends are Jewish. I married one." He did indeed, and his first wife was the inspiration for the song "Tiny Dancer." A quarter of a century later, Elton had a more plausible explanation for the song's inspiration
@JohnWilkesBooth1864 Communist filth?? It rather feels like an anti war campaign!!! Do you really think that the white dove and the peace sign are communist symbols???
God Bless President Obama for the evil hatred he has to deal with! Those of you who liked Bush had better remember the troops beheaded in Iraq you ignoramouses!
You right wingers and the tea party make America sick and are vile and disgusting!
@huntthehunters REALLY, what exactly were we doing when the Japanese bombed and killed thousands at Pearl Harbor?? We weren't in any war, we were DRAGGED into that war. 9-11 and the World Trade Centers??? We were DRAGGED into that as well, I just don't get the hate, I really don't.
@maldhir Without the United States, most of the world would be speaking German and the Jewish race would have been all but annihilated.... less war??? Amazing and very sad that people forget SO quickly!!!
Does anyone know the circumstances this song was written under of what the motivation was for writing it?

Glad to see a video that shows the hard work of the 100% unappreciated job the US does to protect the pieces of shit around the world.
