Last night, we went to see Elton John play in St. John's. It was quite the concert; I wrote about it for my day job at CBC, although the clever headline I came up with in the shower drew a knock in the comments section. (Look, everything draws a knock in the comments section.) This week's collection of five facts is all about Elton. The shot below, incidentally, was nicked here; it was taken in...

It was here that Who Manager Kit Lambert first saw the Jimi Hendrix Experience perform, and signed the band to Track Records virtually on the spot. 'The Scotch' was a favourite watering hole of Keith Moon and John Entwistle.

I'm going through a phase of Tim Blair style titles, I notice. So how come Rod Stewart was singing backup vocals for Long John Baldry?
