i identify with jesus re: references re blowing up baloons and letting them fly vs Levon bound by tradition of the family and the money benefits he derives. Hence, I sent you that quote the other day.
All Levon does is sit and count money by the noisy motorway....a very mechanical place without fresh air (read life). He was boorn a poor person (pauper) to an unempowered person - pawn (his father Alvin Tosig) when there was no hope (NYT said God is dead and the War has begun). Facing these dreary circumstances Levon clung to the "family tradition and plan" "Ye shall be a Levon; ye shall be a good man".
The Son benefits from the best the Father has..... sends him (Jesus) to the best school in town.
Jesus blows up balloons all day - many ideas, hopes dreams, coming from the breath of life (his chest (lungs/heart).... and someday he will ride one of those dreams away into the sky -heaven? Leaving the slowly dieing Levon behind.
Also, Jesus - a prophet is without honor in his own country...must leave all family obligations behind...follow the true father.
Bernie Taupin (for you youngsters) wrote all Elton John's Lyrics. He is probably my favorite lyricists ever.
