Misapprehensions

[LBernier at tribune.com]

Yeah, like me and a whole generation of 6th graders, circa 1976, who were 
convinced that EJ sang "She's got electric boobs!" on Benny and the Jets.  Lots 
of snickering all around.

"Rocket Man--burnin' out his fuse up there alone."  EJ is notorious for 
bending the sounds of words to fit his melodies . . .
