Elton John to Perform At Rush's Wedding This Evening..
   
I wonder if John is aware of Rush's bashing of gays. Jose Lambiet in the Palm Beach Post has details...

Elton is a capitalist pig!

2. John has lived in the US a very long time... Of course he must know
   He may be of that mindset that interacting positively with the likes of Rush can change them... I don't agree, but that is one school of thought..

22. Elton John doesn't need the money. He's the last person I thought would sell out.   
   I lost all respect for him now. Elton used to be for the oppressed, but now he's just another right wing appeaser.

:lmao:

8. Being paid in excess of a Million $ with additional demands...
   So, at least Sir Elton is going for Lard Rushbo's deep deep pockets. The Freepers must be crazed over this one...

:bs: it's the left who'll have their panties in a wad, see the next post!

13. So many have their price, principles be damned. Reported as being paid over $ 1 million. I hope
   he at least donates it to a charity that Rush hates ......

17. Anything for MONEY.
   Greed rules everything. Principles mean nothing anymore. She is marrying a pig for money and Elton John is prostituting his talent for money. I no longer have respect for Sir Elton. I am a musician and have sacrificed money because I refused to play jobs I was offered by powerful and bigoted people. I could name a name (or two) you would instantly know. It was a big paying gig for me but I will not mention the name because I do not want to give the racist SOB any more exposure than he already has.

21. I would find it hard to believe Elton is doing it just for money.
   At this point he has got to have all the money he can possibly need for the rest of his life.

I've got to say that I'm a bit surprised myself. The old fruit is so into conservative America bashing that I'd have figured he'd run away screaming from Rush.

I figured Rush would have the Turtles play at his wedding.

Maybe he's saving them for the baby shower.

   At this point he has got to have all the money he can possibly need for the rest of his life.

Actually knew about Elton John's profiligate spending habits, he'd know that it was about 85% to 90% about the money.

Ha ha. Elton John needs the money!! I noticed Crissy Hines(Pretenders ) took the money and shut up for that song! Maybe it is his new wife that wanted Elton John to sing at the wedding?

I think it's awesome actually, I'm an Elton John fan though, but I admit I'm shocked Elton is doing it. The DU gets their :kumbaya: and they're still angry, we have 2 sides coming together, celebrate! :cheerleader:

I've always been an Elton John fan.

I am surprised at this though....not that Rush would ask him, but that Elton would agree.

Yep, and you know he's going to take a lot of heat from Hollywood because of this.

I wouldn't pay $5 to hear Elton John.... geez.

I hope this $1M figure is the price of the whole wedding not for Elton.

It's not that surprising.  Liberals that have known Rush Limbaugh socially always comment what an amiable and humurous man he is.  I don't know if that's because they were expecting a grade A jerk, but I think not.  Rush seems to be a generaly likable fellow.

I saw Elton John in concert a couple years ago.  I think there are women that go to concerts just to act crazy regardless of who is actually playing. 

That show must have cost a fortune to put on... there were a dozen people on that stage.

I dragged hubby to see Tom Jones, I think there were 5 guys total at the concert, he was shocked how loud the women were screaming.

I bought a single tape answering machine once that would play music while the tape advanced. I was at a friends house the day I got it calling the machine and playing with the remote message retrieval and stuff. I had a bunch of super short silence messages and quicker hang-ups while I played. Then the thing got to the 4th note of the music.....OH HELL NO!!!!!1111111!!

Yep, it was going to play It's a Small World. I flew back home, disconnected the machine, stuffed it back in the box and returned it before I got any on me.

I.Hate.that.song.


Badcat,
That's the best song he ever did and most likely one of the best all time songs ever.
