Half of one of the greatest creative partnerships in popular music, Bernie Taupin is the man who wrote the lyrics for Elton John, who conceived the ideas that spawned countless hits, and sold millions and millions of records. Together, they were a duo, a unit, an immovable object. Their extraordinary, half-century-and-counting creative relationship has been chronicled in biopics (like 2019's\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eRocketman\u003c\/i\u003e) and even Elton John's own autobiography,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eMe\u003c\/i\u003e.

We discover early '70s New York with Elton on the cusp of global fame. We spend late night hours with John Lennon, with Bob Marley, and hanging with Frank Sinatra in LA. We witness memorable encounters with Graham Greene, Salvador Dali, Andy Warhol and scores of notable misfits, miscreants, eccentrics, and geniuses, some of whom inspire the indelible lyrics to songs such as\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eTiny Dancer\u003c\/i\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eCandle in the Wind\u003c\/i\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eBennie and The Jets\u003c\/i\u003e, and so many more.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1 DetailsTabs_html-content__dQoL5 mui-style-tgrox\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1 DetailsTabs_html-content__dQoL5 mui-style-tgrox\"\u003eWritten with honesty and candour,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eScattershot\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ebears witness to events unfolding from Taupin's singular perspective, always with an infectious energy that only a songwriter's vivid prose could offer - his imagination sparked by country music and cowboy culture.
