2011-06-21T01:57: Burying Farm Dogs

This is almost three months old, because the source doesn't have RSS feeds on his site and I'm not signed up for the email list. At the end of March, Bernie Taupin finally answered the FAQ about the status of Farm Dogs, the band he formed in the late '90s. The answer, as you might expect, was that they're a thing of the past.

The confusion came from having farmdogs.com proclaim ever since late 1998, IIRC, that the band was spending time on other projects and might get back together "next year". That message sat unchanged for almost ten years until the domain registration expired. So now we can close that book: "Farm Dogs was a precious moment in my life that produced some fine music and provided the participants with some fun times. [...] The two Farm Dogs albums are capsules of a wonderful time in my life and the guys I made them with will always have my respect."

Thanks to the Internet, you can easily find used copies of Last Stand in Open Country and Immigrant Sons.
