Elton John - Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy (DJM UK/MCA US, 1975) - Concept and art direction by Bernie Taupin and David Larkham, design and illustration by Alan Aldridge and Harry Willock, lettering assistance by Geoff Halpin

Aldridge was inspired by Hieronymus Bosch's The Garden of Earthly Delights when he illustrated this. Interestingly it was made into a pinball machine by Bally. Might need to track that one down at some point.

🎶🗑

More good ones!

🎶 What music do you listen to when you write?

You guys probably know my music tastes run all over the place and can't be consistent for more than a week at a time, but my go-to's for writing tend to be albums I can listen to, beginning to end. Bonus points if they seem to tell a story. I find soundtracks are ideal for this - music specifically written to amplify the feelings of highs and lows in a story will make me push myself to write with more excitement and emotion in general. Good albums can do this too - Dark Side of the Moon, Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy, Ride the Lightning, Led Zeppelin IV... the list goes on. So long as I'm pulling a story out of whatever it is I'm listening to, I'm gonna have a good time.

🗑 What is one fic idea that you loved at first but then scrapped?

I hate to say scrapped because there's always a chance I could grab onto something I thought up a hundred years ago and could never place... only to use it on something in the future. I'm doing a lot of that on what's becoming the script for Dethkomic III. Lots of things I never thought would be in the story, are finding their way into the story, including:

An all out epic battle scene (or five)

A world-tour (but not the music kind)

Regrettable Vegas weddings

Magnus Hammersmith

And more... All of these ideas came from stuff I had considered for other stories or drabbles, but they just didn't "hit" right, then. So when I'm low on ideas, that's when I go back to my notes (or more often, my brain) and I give them a reconsideration. Sometimes it works out. In fact, I'd say it works out more times than I never end up writing it at all. :)

Prompt list is here!

Um, hi! I know you probably haven't thought of this in a long time, but I was scrolling through the Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy tag and I discovered your old @captainfantasticadventures blog! I got interested in the album when I found out it was going to get a movie back in the '70s and I really love the characters you created for your blog. Would it be all right if I wrote some fanfiction about them? (1/2)

"(2/2) Nothing too fancy, just an adaptation of the two scenes you drew where the captain has his recurring nightmare and goes to sleep in the cowboy's bed - maybe something after that is a bit longer detailing how Captain Fantastic became who he is now and met the cowboy with elements from the movie's concepts - unless you have your own ideas for how that went which you don't want anyone stepping on. I figured I should ask you first since I know a lot of people are protective of their ideas." -Headspace-tales

(since you sent it in two parts I figured I would put them together here) I really appreciate your passion and appreciation for that old project! Even though my partner and I have moved on from it I'm glad that it is still being found and loved as we loved making content for it. Our versions of those characters live on in my heart and we are both really proud of our designs and story for it. Feel free to write fanfiction using our versions of them! It's an honor to inspire others! Just maybe credit in the bio for inspiration but other than that go wild!

And feel free to message me either in my dms or in my inbox a link to the fic as I'd love to read it. :)

what are your favorite songs? do you have a playlist?

Okay, this is a long list so I'll just write a short answer: I have a pretty standard music taste:

Dylan [various albums from the 50s to 70s, especially "Blonde on Blonde" and "Time Out of Mind"], although I only know him from hearing my parents play him in the car

Elvis [various albums from the 50s to 70s, especially "In the Month of June"]

Led Zeppelin [various albums from the 1970s to the early 80s, including most of their classic, non-trony period stuff like "The Song Remains the Same"]

Various prog rock bands like Genesis [various albums from the mid-to-late 70s]

Van der Graaf Generator [various albums from the mid-to-late 70s]. Their stuff tends to be very repetitive, but they're very memorable and I like the weirdness

King Crimson [various albums over the course of several decades], my favorite is "Larks Tongues in Aspic"

Various prog rock bands over the years, especially Yes and Emerson, Lake and Palmer [various albums over the decades, especially "Discovery" and "Brain Salad Surgery" from the 70s and 80s respectively]

Elton John [solo albums from the 60s to the 90s, particularly "Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy" and "Sacred Ground" from the 70s]

Various artists [various albums from the 1980s to the present, particularly "The Hissing of Summer Lawns" from 1989 and "The Unseen Power of Love" from 1990]

Pink Floyd [various albums from the 60s to the 90s, particularly "The Wall" and the more "progressive" albums from the 70s to the 80s]

King Crimson [various albums from the 90s to present]

Various other (non-superstar) rock groups [some old stuff from the 50s, some more modern stuff from the present]

There are a bunch of others that I like that aren't on here either because they are obscure enough to be forgettable or because I haven't given them enough attention to remember what they sound like. And a few others I just like the music of, even if I don't particularly care about the band.

Some songs to listen to:

"You've Come a Long Way, Baby" by Elvis, a song of a certain sort that I don't usually like, but it's a good song anyway, and the line "I don't care to listen to what you've got to say / I'll leave and never look back" just sticks with me (a lot)

"Sitting on a Cornflake" by Pink Floyd

"Sunshine of Your Love" by the Beach Boys

"In the Air Tonight" by Phil Collins

"In the Still of the Night" by Phil Collins

"Toto's Africa" by Toto

"There Is An Air (Above Our Heads)" by King Crimson

"The Ledge" by King Crimson

"Killing An Arab" by Status Quo

"Black Magic Woman" by Stevie Wonder

"Burn" by U2 (okay, maybe it's just that I associate it with an intense emotion)

"The Preacher" by Black Sabbath

I think it's interesting that a lot of people who aren't particularly interested in rock music would have this long list of "bands you listen to" they keep bringing up. In part I think this is just a reflection of how I am: I listen to many bands, but usually not many of the same ones several times in a row, and so not many bands in my library would appear on someone else's list of their favorite. But in part it is probably a reflection of how we tend to construct lists of favorite music in general. There is such a thing as an "idol band" — a very popular band that many people who are into music listen to. This is one of the few places you don't often find people giving you lists of favorite songs by an "idol" band, because most people don't care about music that much, and just don't give it a lot of thought. If you find a band that has a wide fan base, you will probably find them at various points in your entire music library, but if you have a large music library (most people do) there are lots of bands you listen to that aren't especially well known outside of the specific subculture of people who really love that particular band. And it's this sort of music that is least likely to have its songs pop up in your list of favorite songs — unless you specifically list a band you like, or even only
