Yeah, I agree. -- a song for you (2'07")about a year ago, Elton came and found me in a ditch by the side of the highway of life and he took me up to the high stages with big audiences and treated me like a king: 1'05"
- Leon Russell, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, 2011.
It's a good version of "a song fro you." "Magic Mirror" is another Russell song that is some kind of touch stone in my life. Like Paul Simon's "One Man's Ceiling Is Another Mans Floor" it always reminds me to keep some perspective. I think Simon's "There Goes Rhymin' Simon" is one of the most American albums ever made. I love Russell, Simon and Cale for making and expressing the beauty of America without jingoism, I forget how to do that all to often.
