it could be about Elvis, by 1976 ( one year prior Elvis death) he was heavily submerged in drugs and alcohol abuse, he gained weight and his face was like swollen... ( ...and his face was changed....) that's probably why the song says he was an idol in the 50's . I purchased the album "Blue moves" in 1977 at age 10 , this was my favorite song along Bennie and the jets and tonight.

Well, this is magisterial. It is truly beautiful, and very sophisticated melodically, structurally and harmonically. It's hard to believe that this song was written by two men under 30 years old. I have loved this song since I first heard it 37 years ago this week!! Elton has done songs as beautiful for sure, but not many more beautiful.

This song and "The Diving Board" are quite alike lyrically. Love them both very much.

Most beautiful? We all have different tastes don't we? But a very fine song. Philadelphia Freedom is very beautiful. Harmony is very beautiful. High Flying Bird is very beautiful. Come Down In Time is very beautiful. Indian Sunset is very beautiful. The Greatest Discovery is very beautiful. I don't think I could breath if I could never hear Roy Rogers and I've Seen That Movie Too... again.

Yes, I think it's about Elvis, just before his death. And it's a perfect portrait.

There's quite an exciting buzz about Elton's upcoming album The Diving Board, which i've not heard but has been compared to both Blue Moves and his early stuff, 1970-1
