No Rock And Roll Fun

MAYBE WE CAN SNEAK NIKITA IN THERE, SOMEWHERE: Surely it can't be the case that Elton John really is up for hire? There are stories flying about that John is going to write a musical based on the life of Roman Abramovich, the wealthy Russian who owns Chelsea FC for some reason. Actually, of course, all that has happened is that an old manager of Rod Stewart, Billy Gaff, has tried to buy the rights to a biography of Abramovich, and as part of his pitch, Elton John's name got mentioned. This is one of those projects that will never see the light of day, and even if it does, it'll never hear the enthusiastic applause of even a half-full theatre.
