The title to the album came from when Elton John's friend Groucho Marx jokingly pointed a finder at him like a six-shooter gun and John put up his hands and said, "Don't Shoot Me, I'm Only the Piano Player." "I'm Gonna Be a Teenage Idol" is supposedly inspired by T. Rex frontman Marc Bolan. "Crocodile Rock" is inspired by a 1950s song and sure sounds like it.
There are ten songs and 4 bonus tracks on the CD. I found a heavy country influence on "Texan Love Song" and "High Flying Bird."
Of the four bonus tracks, "Screw You (Young Man's Blues)" was the most interesting.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
