Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:46:52 GMT

For 56 years, since the day Bernie Taupin met Elton John and embarked on a lifelong musical partnership, most of lyricist Taupin’s best-known works fit neatly on a single sheet of paper.“Your Song” and “Tiny Dancer,” “Rocket Man” and “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road,” “I Guess That’s Why They Call It the Blues” and “I’m Still Standing.”Scores of big hits and deep cuts from the more than 25 albums Taupin and John made together, as well as dozens more that Taupin wrote for artists such as Rod Stewart, Alice Cooper, Heart and himself, decades ago established his talent with chorus and verse.But Taupin always liked writing prose, too, which is how, almost by accident, he came to compose his just-published memoir, “Scattershot: Life, Music, Elton & Me.”“I started writing it somewhat as an experiment,” Taupin says on a recent call from his home in the Santa Ynez Valley some 30 m...

GENEVA (AP) — Spain’s Women’s World Cup winning coach Jorge Vilda was left off the short-list of nominees for the annual FIFA awards announced Thursday, a week after he was fired following an international uproar in the wake of the final. Vilda was not among five candidates for the Best Women’s Coach Award for 2023, which did include England coach Sarina Wiegman, whose team lost the final to Spain. The candidates were picked by a FIFA-appointed expert panel that included United States great Mia Hamm. Spain forward Jenni Hermoso, who was kissed by now-disgraced and ousted Spanish soccer federation president Luis Rubiales after the final, is one of four Spain players who are among the 16 candidates for the women’s player of the year award. Rubiales is being investigated for sexual assault in Spain over the kiss. Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé are competing with six Champions League winners from Manchester City and four others for the Best Men’s Player Award.Messi won...

BOSTON (AP) — A three-touchdown victory over a Top 5 team. A 50-point win in the following week. The No. 3 ranking in the country.And Florida State coach Mike Norvell wants to raise the bar.“The new expectation needs to be better than that,” he said this week as the Seminoles (2-0) stop at Boston College (1-1) for their Atlantic Coast Conference opener Saturday on their path to what looks like a berth in the College Football Playoff.“I think our guys embrace it. They don’t always like it,” Norvell said. “We all want to take a deep breath. We all want to be able to have a relaxing moment. … Yes, there’s an appreciation. But there’s also a responsibility that comes with the steps we’ve taken to get better, and that’s what we continue to push to do.”Florida State rose to No. 3 in The Associated Press Top 25 thanks to its 66-13 victory over Southern Mississippi last week, combined with a loss by Alabama. It’s the Seminoles’ highest ranking since they were also third before losing back-t...
