I've always liked EJ's music, most of it anyway. Now I'm beginning to really like him on a personal level. :-)

What's with Elton: plays AZ concert, slams boycotting musicians
Edited on Tue Jul-27-10 02:40 PM by UTUSN
This article says at the end he is married to his partner. LIMBOsevic said he's NOT "married," that he (JOHN) "shares the same stance on Gay marriage as OBAMA."

Elton John's choice words for boycotting musicians
By Cathalena E. Burch Arizona Daily Star | Posted: Friday, July 23, 2010
Elton John didn't mince words in slamming his fellow musicians for boycotting Arizona over the controversial SB 1070 immigration law. From the stage at his sold-out Tucson Arena concert Thursday night, John savored a few choice, not-so-family-friendly words:
"We are all very pleased to be playing in Arizona. I have read that some of the artists won't come here. They are (expletive)wits! Let's face it: I still play in California, and as a gay man I have no legal rights whatsoever. So what's the (expletive) with these people?"
John has never been one to cave into political pressure from his musical colleagues. He ignored an artist boycott of Israel in June over the flotilla fiasco and played a show in Tel Aviv. He also played Rush Limbaugh's latest wedding reception in early June, which drew the ire of gays and lesbians. Limbaugh is vehemently anti-gay marriage; John is married to his longtime partner David Furnish.

4. He needs the money and he is losing his edge (to the extent he ever had one).
"As a gay man I have no legal rights whatsoever" in California? Say what? None? Zip?
He doesn't come across as the sharpest tool in the shed.

27. Butt buddy?? You really said that?

Wow. Elton is a friggin capitalist. Who woulda thunk it?
-
In the hullabaloo over his playing at Rush's wedding, I seem to remember a line by Sir Elton where he mentioned that people on the Right are more tolerant than people of the Left. I can't remember if Sir Elton was talking about how the Right and Left treat gays, or tolerance in general. I think the former, but it wouldn't surprise me to hear that he meant the latter.
-
:cheersmate:Luv ya, Elton!
-
Oh boy - I'm sure Elton is concerned - there are a few hundred less people who are going to download his music, and maybe one less person who would have actually paid for it.
-
Well, the ones EARNING money, are probably more likely to buy a ticket to his show, rather than the ones who aren't, who will probably download songs for free....

Would Elton John fit in with the Log Cabin Republicans?

Is he even a U.S. citizen?

Pretty sure he isn't, but he does seem to be socially conservative.

Kudos to Elton John for not giving into pressure from politically correct left!

Bill Maher said the same thing years ago after he was fired because of his 9/11 comment, he said he got more support from the right then he got from the left.

42. Again with the boycotts - I'm sure every state has something he doesn't agree with
but it's ridiculous as a business person to pick and choose and boycott for this or that, just like it is with a person boycotting companies.
Freeper Troll!

62. Someone please tell ignored...
I obviously don't give a flying rat's ass what they think...
If you have someone on ignore then aren't you defeating the purpose by reading what they're saying? or responding to them in any way?

JuniperLea , just stop being a jackass and the namecalling will sort itself out. Easy, no ?
