I was once the victim of identity theft but once they realised what a crap life I had, they gave it backYou’re lucky! I’ve been hacked a couple of times and don’t want to be again

some interesting choices.. and some surprising ones bold of them to include anything from 1993's "Duets" album in a Top 50 and they bravely plumped for more more than one track from "Duets", including "Teardrops" with kd lang and "Born To Lose" with Leonard Cohen, the whole project was almost universally savaged by the music press at the time.. say no more, say no more..Will Hermes just wrote a massive piece for Rolling Stone with his own (annotated) picks of 50 "diamonds" from the EJ catalog:

Just for some more EJ rankings while we are awaiting the disc, Vulture ran an article last year ranking all (as of then) 378 Elton songs with commentaries on most.
Spoiler Alert: They share @fredblue's opinion of Leather Jackets, by the way...

That was a good show! I noticed that after the monolog Elton was on for the length of the show. I also noticed how the cameras cut away from him after walking out, to views of the audience. I expect that was because of vision problems & Colbert was leading him to the chair.From Elton's recent appearance [December 17th] on the Stephen Colbert Show:
