And Rebecca? She wants to go to Venus!

I heard Levon on the radio as I was driving home from work today. For some reason, I remember very vividly the first time I heard that song. Join me for a trip down memory lane.

It was April 2006, around the time of Spring Break. I had just gotten out of French Literature class with the drunkard and taken the Tigerland bus back to Tarpartment, where Sara and I were living at the time. It was still early in the afternoon, so I got in the truck and drove around Tigerland looking at apartments, since Sara and I would be moving out of Tarpartment at the end of the summer. It was a beautiful spring day, cool and sunny, and I had just turned onto Tigerland Avenue when "Levon" came on the radio.

I was sort of in awe, and I remember thinking, "How have I never heard this song before?" I don't know why I remember this so well, since it's not an especially meaningful song to me or anything. It's just so... strange. I mean, when it got to the lyric Calls his child Jesus / Cause he likes the name, I wondered for a minute if I was hearing things.

That is my #2 favorite Elton John song, but with a whole lot of history before 2006. I had the album it came on back in nineteen hundred and *cough* nevermind.
