there's this story by ray bradbusry called rocket man. its about and astronaut and his family and about how much he wants to stay home with his family but he can't pull himself away from space but he promises it will be his last time going up but his ship crashes into the sun. "I miss the earth so much I miss my wife " the relationship he has with his wife...very distant she know she coudl die so she pretends he's already dead. "I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I'm a rocket man " family thinks highly of him but he's not a good father or husband because he keeps leaving. "Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone " dies by flying into the sun..burning up alone. "Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids" he tells his son never to be like him because of how the life is and how he can't tear himself away. "And I think it's gonna be a long long time" he dies out there so he's never coming back. maybe there's a corelation aside from coinsidence

Interesting compilations... and most are probably correct in their own candid percentaged regard. However, in my opinion based upon facts, after Elton's semi-supportive family childhood, he was married, but not devoted to settling down. He was and still is a one-man band of selfishness and instant gratifications. His dumped wife, like most women, refused to learn and apply the physical concept of the mutually submissive marriage bed duties. Admittedly, women are wired to be selfish b-itches usually around their period cycles, and their dreamy idea of settling down after their plastic baby-doll and buggy-pushing childhood pasts transforms their visions into...

Admittedly, women are wired to be selfish b-itches usually around their period cycles, and their dreamy idea of settling down after their plastic baby-doll and buggy-pushing childhood pasts transforms their visions into adult identifying happy family units, and all spirited with procreation realities: their main animal role in life. Elton's career, and slinging beer, getting high, and becoming queer, was and still is his entrapped escape and pitfall, especially his current, long-term acute complex break-out of faggoitis which psychologically still weighs him away from proper rebound. Example: After a concert, around 10 years ago, paired with George Michael, in their silver stretch limo, George by the back right window, Elton seated next to him near the middle, just moments before their departure, windows down, a brief conversation amidst them both, and both will remember, George scoffed with a grin as Elton made his reply to this paraphrased loaded question: "Elton, have you thought about the 'Divine Truth' and turning from your immoral ways, and actually accepting Christ as your Lord and Saviour?" Elton replied, "I know, but I am not ready yet." As the growing crowd of greetings and hopeful signatures encroached, the limo starting to leave, the window was slowly engaged up with increased "thank yous" and murmurs, and then quickened with departed silence. What is "not ready" supposed to mean? When is the 'right' time? Can we buy and bargain our own eternity? No! And it is by shear luck, not command, that our choices can falsely seem to control God's hand as if to put off the personal acceptance gift of Salvation to our own assumed terms. The sad thing is, at that time, Elton and Michael, clearly decided to gamble their fate then, even if they accept or reject God up to the moment that God clicks His 'Your time is up!' stopwatch right now. So, in essence, "Rocketman" is clearly a song of 'Freewill Rebellion' which Elton (and other non-committers) may still live today while laughing fearlessly in the face of God. Prove me wrong! I betcha can't! I hope everyone gets on their knees and prays for their own and others Salvation right now, everyday forward. Understand this, the talents given to Elton, Michael, and others need not be wasted, but acknowledged and appreciated always even through the ages, because by Grace alone, we have an awesome Creator God. Review all of Elton's music: his own basis lifestyle.
@Sapphiredemon another shot story/chapter by ray bradbury, Zero Hour may be refranced in the begining of the song. i am not sure if i am streaching the referances here, but it is possible.
