More than anything else, his enthusiasm for the realm of pop stardom, without any of the ironic detachment that has allowed peers such as Bowie to thrive in the public eye without losing a shred of their critical cache, has eroded his credibility as an artist of import almost beyond the vanishing point. For a younger critical establishment raised on the likes of Nirvana and Pavement, it would be almost impossible to reconcile the steely likes of Madman Across the Water with the image of Elton as the self-proclaimed “Queen Bitch” of pop, hobnobbing with the rich and richer, making no effort to hide his own beyond-ostentatious wealth.

It’s something of a minor tragedy that John’s recording career has come to be so thoroughly overshadowed by his very public antics and high-profile extra-curricular activities. As Paul Gambaccini notes in the liner notes to the re-released Captain Fantastic, “for every decade of his career Elton the serious album artist has had another image [with which to contend].” The flamboyant costumes, outrageous performances, the philanthropy, the gossip, the feuds, the shopping trips… they all worked to overshadow the image of John as he presented himself in his early career, as a conscientious songwriter and consummate artist. The 2006 album The Captain & the Kid is the sequel, and continues the autobiography where Captain Fantastic leaves off.

That same month, John Lennon’s “Whatever Gets You Thru The Night,” featuring his friend Elton on harmony vocals, went to No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

He had been signed to Twenty First Artists, co-owned by John before it was sold in 2005 to the Sanctuary Group. By now, Blunt had turned into one of the bestselling artists in the world. ‘Tell stories that are accessible to people’ I’ve often wondered just what the common, crucial element has been in the artistic downfall of so many different artists. What’s the process by which otherwise talented musicians — Bowie, the Stones, U2, Stevie Wonder, and especially Elton John and Bernie Taupin — go from frightening acuity to rote professionalism? After considering the matter for some time the only answer that makes any sense is hunger. Everyone starts from the same point of hunger. Desire propels the artist through the stratosphere at frightening velocities, enabling them to accomplish Herculean feats of artistic mastery for as long as they remain in motion.
