In the 70's there was a shooting at Olean (NY) High School - supposedly the shooter listened to this song - some of it applied to him (as it does to a lot of us). Just a rumor, but it made the song "risky" to listen to.

The word negro is not racist . . . otherwise they wouldn't be able to seel black beans in the supermarket.

Do any of you idiots really think, that of any artist, Elton would put down a certain race. How about when he says a Negro waiter, Do you really think he is a racist. Damn, please.

I agree the piano piece is superb. This song really gets you thinking in many different directions about our purpose. My question is why don't they ever play it on the radio in America...I think it scares too many people and its says negro in it. Is that censorship or are we in N. Korea or China.
