Who is the brown dirt cowboy from Elton John's album Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy?
I was listening to this song this weekend and found this searching for the meaning myself. I have a feeling that a Brown Dirt Cowboy is a heroin addict. "While little Dirt Cowboys turned brown in their saddles" would be heroin in a spoon turning brown when heated.

What does Tumbleweed Connection from Elton John's album mean?
I don't have the answer. I've been listening to that album lately. A lot. As far as I've noticed, the phrase is not used in the lyrics on this album. I wonder if Bernie Taupin made it up. His lyrics are all sorts of cryptic. I've only noticed in adulthood that (a) Kiss lyrics are really, really filthy and (b) So many of Elton's songs, even a lot of the famous ones, are absolutely either incomprehensible or too deep and symbolic for me. Tumbleweed Connection could be the same thing. If Bernie made it up, it means something like, "like, you're out in the prairie out West, and there are tumbleweeds, and the tumbleweeds represent the [fill in psychobabble] and your inner [psychobabble] is connecting to or moving along with/like the tumbleweeds." In addition, Bernie Taupin rarely intends to have meaning in his lyrics as he gives them to Elton John to write music to. Both disliked it when critics would often try to speculate for definition in Bernie's intentionally meaningless lyrics. "Tumbleweed Connection" has no specific meaning and was never intended to have one.
How did Elton John got started in his career?

What songs has Elton John written?
Elton John writes almost all of the music he has recorded, with the exception of the lyrics, mostly written by his lyricist Bernie Taupin [otherwise written by Gary Osborne during a certain low point in Elton's career and Tim Rice for musicals and most famously for The Lion King], the album Victim of Love, and a handful of odd songs recorded during the late 70's and throughout the 80's. He has, in total, written over at least 450 songs by a very rough estimate and it is rather difficult to list them all.

What were some important events in Elton Johns life?
Listen to the song, "Someone Saved My Life Tonight". One of the most influential events in Elton's life was when he was debating suicide during the late 60's before he became famous. In 1969, Elton was engaged to a woman named, Linda Woodrow, however Elton was having second thoughts about the marriage. One night in 1969, Elton turned on the gas stove in the apartment that he shared with his songwriter, Bernie Taupin. Once the stove was on, Elton put his head into the stove. Taupin found Elton in the kitchen and subsequently pulled him out. The reason why Elton was unsuccessful in his suicide was because the window in the kitchen was open thus allowing the gas to escape, so essentially, Elton was just lying in the stove hoping that it would eventually kill him. As a result of this, he relied a lot on his friends in order to keep him on the right path. Long John Baldry convinced Elton to cancel the marriage in order to keep his music career alive, and boy was that the best decision he has ever made. Going back to the song "Someone Saved My Life Tonight", that "someone" is Long John Baldry. Just think, if Elton's suicide attempt was successful, then we wouldn't have any of his wonderful songs available to us today.
