ELTON JOHN DOES DISCO! Events coordinator and sci-fi rock-opera composer, Dana Cain, goes back to her younger fangirl self as we dig into the mysteries of this peculiar album? Could Elton have spent any less effort getting out of his UNI record contract? Does the world need an eight minute Chuck Berry cover? Does this album even rate a single mention in Elton’s autobiography? What is the utilitarian purpose of grindcore? Are you supposed to think about disco music or just dance to it? Just how “street” is Elton? How quickly did disco die after this album was released? And more importantly, why do they call it The Blues and not, say, The Yellows? Put on your boogie shoes and join us on the yellow brick road this week on Detours and Outliers.
