elton fan here, i like what you had to say! but one thing: the yacht was fully a gift from elton,bought by elton, for john’s 25th birthday and it became a big thing in the press at the time (highlighting elton’s insane generosity and possibly pointing out a more than platonic manager-artist relationship) and i feel like the name “madman” was just a silly little pun because the yacht goes “across the water” lmao.
