Those credits are a bit much. Nice montage, though. I'll rate you a three.

whats wrong with the credits? so what its dedicated to EJ and BT? I was just curious/

[IrisMG]

No need to be immature. But, since you asked, I just found it over the top - you use far too much repetition. "Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy can be found on the album Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy". And the dedication, "This is dedicated to the Captain and the Kid Elton John and Bernie Taupin. To Bernie Taupin and Elton John thanks for the many years of great music and many more years to come.

am I immature?I was just wondering what was wrong with it? I don't care that you don't like the credits. this was done awhile ago. I have done tons of these things since then. I was just asking a question. but i'm done with this anyway.

I realize you're only just learning, but if you ever become a professional writer, you'll need to learn to economize your words and not repeat yourself so much. In this example, you need not EJ and BT ad infinitum (even twice is too much); the audience knows who it's dedicated to from the first sentence. You didn't need 19 seconds for all of what you wanted to say.

oh I was on the high school newspaper almost 10 years ago. but I dont plan to be come a writter anyway. I do economize at work.

I was only 3 when the album came out so I had to go searching for an origional copy to get all the packaging goodies. Then stupid me I let it go in a pile of stuff to my sis in laws garage sale (I have all these on CD...) When I realized what I had done I felt sick until my husband introduced me to ebay. Now its displayed safely on a shelf to avoid any further "accidents"!

boggywoggy I lost mine but still have my original album. I even bought another one years later, it's still sealed. I know it doesn't open up or have the mag in it tho'. How about that awesome pic of Bernie inside the original cover? I play piano too!

As a long-time Elton-Bernie fan, I love this. You have some photos on there that I've never seen--really nice! This one is going in my Favorites.

thanks for this, very well put together 

[Scott2201]

This is excellent, you are obviously a true fan. Nothing wrong with the writing at all, and anyway it is mainly a design piece. I enjoyed watching it, twice : )

[blonde973]

thank you for creating this... i can't tell you how much i love these two. :)

No, Elton and Bernie were never lovers. Elton admitted to falling in love with Bernie, in a way, before he realised he was gay, but he never acted on it. From what I hear, and you can never be sure with the famous, is that Bernie is not, nor was he ever, gay. who knows what the real truth is? Or who really cares? The vital thing is that the two of them made some of the very best music of the 20th century. They're living legends and we should appreciate the heck out of em while we can.

The soundtrack of my youth! I had the Captain Fantastic album and the 8-track. Fabulous.

[Starlitblond]

I still have this album! It is the best album!

[larrymo123]
