In mid-20th century Southern California, the place to see and be seen was the Brown Derby restaurant.

“Tell me a story.” Most of us never say these words past childhood, yet we never stop seeking out narrative threads. Indeed, we make sense of the world and one another through stories.

We continue our look at the music of 50 years ago… If you had to pick one musical artist to represent the decade of the 1970’s you would be hard-pressed to find a better one than Elton John. With the exception of 1977 (re-hab?) Elton had at least one album and sometimes two in the charts during every year of the decade. It was a remarkable run for he and lyricist Bernie Taupin. And 1971 was a particularly fertile year. Not only did they drop two outstanding studio albums including Mad...
