Uh, yeah, I think so.

Damn, I'm good.

00:15:11,819 --> 00:15:14,971
Elton John, what the hell

373
00:15:15,064 --> 00:15:16,748
It's just a little
number crunchin', Pop.

So Elton John collaborated
with Bernie Taupin,
390
00:16:08,635 --> 00:16:11,118
who would write the lyrics
for Elton's songs.
391
00:16:11,137 --> 00:16:13,713
Bernie was married three times
in a desperate bid
392
00:16:13,865 --> 00:16:16,474
to convince the world
he was not a homosexual.

Whoa! I-I'm not gay.

You're not?
Y-You just seem very...
401

Yeah. I'm British.
We all seem that way,

Sounds fair to me.
Let's get to it!

From then on,
Elton's new male producer
410
00:16:51,827 --> 00:16:54,237
rode him day and night.
411
00:16:54,330 --> 00:16:56,663
When Elton was tired of playing,
he'd get right behind him
412
00:16:56,683 --> 00:16:59,333
and push him on the stool
until he was finished.
413
00:16:59,352 --> 00:17:00,426
Sometimes Elton would cry
414
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:02,336
because of how hard
he was pushing.
415
00:17:02,430 --> 00:17:04,747
But it paid off,
because, in the end,
416
00:17:04,766 --> 00:17:07,266
they had a massive load.
Of hits.
417
00:17:07,360 --> 00:17:10,753
Just a-- just a big,
messy load of hits.
418

The night Elton John performed
at Dodger Stadium,
419
00:17:13,925 --> 00:17:17,184
he was so nervous, he almost
never left the dressing room.

had walked away,

never to return.
427
00:17:38,132 --> 00:17:40,283

the Dodgers had a game
that night,

Elton John was heavily involved
in the L.A. party scene,

and things took a dark turn
one night
436
00:18:02,731 --> 00:18:05,416
when he and Bernie went to
a party in the Hollywood Hills,
437
00:18:05,568 --> 00:18:07,401
one where you park
way down at the bottom
438
00:18:07,420 --> 00:18:09,328

That's 'cause the rock star
doesn't get the TripTik.
443
00:18:17,322 --> 00:18:19,004

Let's stop, so we don't have
to walk with him the whole way.

this party was "far out,"
