Brian in Elton and Bernie's new song

[sailonsailor]

"Postcards from Richard Nixon" is the leadoff track on Elton John's new album, The Captain and the Kid, the so-called sequel to Captain Fantastic. Part of Bernie Taupin's lyrics to the Nixon song:

And all around us suntanned teens, beauty like we'd never seen
Our heroes led us by the hand
Through Brian Wilson's promised land
Where Disney's God and he commands
Both mice and men to stay

You can hear the album streaming for free over at AOL's site all week, or it comes out tomorrow in the US, at least.

I lose interest in Elton John after 1971.

Not the first time they'e mentioned Brian in a song...there was one back several years ago, I forget the title, but Brian Wilson may even have been in the title.

[Wilsonista]

"Since God Invented Girls" was off of Elton's '88 album Reg Strikes Back.  "Now I know what Brian Wilson meant every time I step outside".  Carl, Bruce, and Adrian Baker sing on the track.
