That impish leprechaun above is music legend Elton John, who celebrates his 62nd birthday on Wednesday, March 25. The "Mad Hatter" of Rock and Roll was born Reginald Dwight in his grandparents' home at
55 Pinner Hill Roadin Pinner, a suburb of London. (Something happened on this very spot
that laid the groundwork for the madness of his wild costumes and stage
performances.) Right around the corner is
Frome Court, where Elton and lyricist Bernie Taupin wrote early hits like "Your Song." For more spots related to Elton John, click
