"Yellow Brick Road" artist pleas for Elton John to give back artwork

If EJ paid £430 for it back then he's entitled to do whatever the hell he wants with it.

 

That was a HUGE amount of money then. I mean we're talking a years wage for some people.

 

EJ could offer to sell it back to him for FMV...

 

Let's not get carried away. $688, even in 1973, was only a year's wage in a third world country. I'm not sure anyone could live on $688 a year in 1873.

 

Technically, since he said "some people", and since more than half the population makes $2 or less a day presently, his statement holds up.

 

Your technical victory is simmering in a bland broth of weaksauce. Enjoy it.

 

And this response is simmering in a salty broth of butthurt.

 

You wish. It is braising in a flavorless stock of disappointment.

This whole exchange is flatulating in a gelatinous mold of -pick.

 

Today's asspickery is yesterday's navel contemplation.

A side order of lint balls please.

$688 in 1973 would be about $3338 in 2011 give or take a few shekels. Typical douchenozzle who feels that someone successful owes something to someone who is not.

Good point. If doing the cover art for one of the best selling albums of all time couldn't help you land steady work, I guess you have limited options. (With Elton's past financial troubles, one wonders if this would still be in his collection.)

This nested quote is blowing my mind.

Love that album.

 

"Funeral for a Friend" is always playing on my iPod.

 

Great song, but you should get that thing fixed, it's supposed to play thousands of songs.
