Elton Capitol iHeart pic

DON’T GO BREAKING MY iHEART: Though surrounded by radio guys, Capitol staff take the opportunity presented by this Elton John and Bernie Taupin photo op at the iHeartRadio Festival to work each other on the project. “Say, Dennis,” chortled EVP/GM Greg Thompson, “have you heard this new Elton record? It’s off the heeze!” “I concur, Greg,” replied SVP Promotion Dennis Reese. “It revives the glories of the earliest Elton-Bernie collaborations, with a contemporary attitude. Smash!” Then they found Liberace’s legendary piano filled with Quaaludes and Viagra, and nothing was ever the same. Seen still standing are (front row, l-r) Andrea Thompson, DeeDee Kearney, Elton and Bernie, and (back, l-r) Thompson, Patty Morris, Bob Semanovich, Jesse Ervin, Dennis Reese and wife Pam Humbert, and Arjun Pulijal.
