They love to do that—spend six building you up and then spend the next six knocking you down. It’s a kind of game with them.

It’s all part of the ‘super­ star-cycle’ they create, but I think they’ve pretty well finished kicking me around. It was the over-exposure, you see, and that almost finished me off as soon as I got started.” The LP disaster: Honky Chateau (on the Uni label) is Elton’s seventh album in less than three years, which doesn't seem all that much until you realize that four of these were released within the space of twelve months. As finished products, he’s not particu­ larly proud of two of them; Friends was a bit of a rush job put together immediately after he returned from an American tour, and at the time he didn’t have any control over their flooding of the market so that these, coupled with his scheduled release of two regular albums a year, plus singles, plus the radio-television-tour­ ing super-hype from twenty-seven dif­ ferent directions all added up to over- exposure. Ripped off or wrung dry? “People seemed to think that I was out to rip off as much bread as possible in the shortest amount of time, which is logical I suppose, but it just isn’t true.” With the release of Madman Across The Water he had four albums at once in almost everyone’s top thirty, and it was a bit too much all around. there is a trace of annoyance at his About a year and a half.

Richard Neal, D-Massachusetts, spoke on a variety of subjects Thursday, Jan. 14, and then answered questions from students at Northbridge High School. Neal noted every bill goes through the House Ways and Means Committee, of which he is a member. He said there are 20 Democrats and 16 Republicans on that committee. He noted the group deals with taxes, tariffs, trade, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and welfare. He said he had worked for educa- tion, health care and manufactur- ing jobs in Massachusetts. “Every tax bill goes through my committee,” Neal said. He noted the importance of growing the economy but also of meeting responsibilities. “We find ourselves in an eco- nomic morass,” he declared of the country. Neal spoke of picking up and going forward, with one slight caveat. He would do that without entering a partisan fray, “but if it becomes a matter of demagoguery (from the other side), I’ll get into it.” By that, the congressman seemed to mean he would not sit Thomas Mattson photo idly by if conservatives attack Congressman Richard Neal (left) with NHS senior James Tabur.
