It's only taken me 40 years or so, but I just noticed something about the Elton John song "Levon" from the Madman Across the Water album. (I was watching Elton perform it on a telecast of the recent Beacon Theatre concert he did with Leon Russell.)In the song, Levon has a son named Jesus. In the third verse, we are told that "Jesus blows up balloons all day / Sits on the porch swing watching them fly." Well, unless Jesus exhales helium (or some other lighter-than-air gas), those balloons ain't flying anywhere!
On the other hand, he is Jesus so who knows?
