Bernie visited a Native American reservation, and was inspired to write a song using their point of view. During Elton’s famous radio performance on 11-17-70 he mentioned that the song was just completed.

As it is he's all over the map and this song is unlistenable because of it.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14774111228986682285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2180853622497657743.post-83691891070172304972013-01-20T06:11:04.633-06:002013-01-20T06:11:04.633-06:00Well, he certainly could be arrogant, but I don...Well, he certainly could be arrogant, but I don't get that as much as perhaps presumption. I still think he was as sensitive here as he ever was, no doubt the product of a thinking man seeing the other side of the Western stories of his youth.<br /><br />I, too, though, have wondered over the years if the message got through or if most non-Native Americans simply dismissed it as more cowboys vs. Indians...if they even thought about it at all.Johnny Bacardihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07051009739174204952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2180853622497657743.post-59144975335630252802013-01-20T01:45:54.866-06:002013-01-20T01:45:54.866-06:00I have wavered on this for years.
