...Elton, money long ago became as abstract as grain futures. Paintings, jewelry and amusing baubles are what count, but most of his purchases become gifts. His U.S. agent has received a Rolls-Royce, his secretary a $2,300 raccoon coat. His manager got an $80,000 yacht and a $10,000 Faberge clock. Elton sent a Rembrandt etching of The Adoration of the Shepherds to Rod Stewart's 30th birthday party...
...even there the great reptiles reportedly are gobbling up such valuable fur-bearing animals as muskrat and nutria -not to mention possum, raccoon, frogs, fish and whatever else they can lay their jaws on.

The stares are not for Indianer but for his portable telephone, now installed on the handlebars...
...Together--Jesse Colin Young (Raccoon). The Youngbloods may well have been the most under-rated group of the 60's, and the chief impetus behind its creations came from lead singer Jesse Colin Young. Young's first solo album shows his style at its best--lively, competent guitar-playing, light arrangements, gently rocking rhythms, and lyrics whose leanness only sets off more dramatically the appropriateness of his imagery. His songs work because of the feeling behind them; Young is managing to grow old gracefully as a flower child, and his singing about sunshine still never fails to feel warm. Comparing...
