The Spin’s entire life has been permeated by Elton John. He had already released over a decade’s worth of stone-cold classic hits by the time we were born, and thanks to our mom, we spent our childhood far more familiar with E.J.'s music than with that of any other contemporary artist. In fact, we talked to our mom on Friday before Elton's show at Bridgestone Arena, and she said she'd already seen him twice. Not only that, we ended up tweeting with our exceptionally savvy grandma during the show about the set list from the Elton John concert at MTSU’s Murphy Center in 1984. The Spin officially became a third-generation Elton John concert attendee on Friday night. That doesn’t happen with many musicians.
