And of course there’s the irony in Elton John/Bernie Taupin’s “Texan Love Song”
True story:
A pilot I flew with was at an FBO in NC and noticed one of the ladies behind the counter had a picture of Elton John just laying there. My friend tapped the picture with his finger and said, “Is that Elton John? He’s an ol’ faggot, ain’t he?”
The blood drained from the lady’s face and her mouth dropped open. My friend felt a hand on his shoulder, turned and looked down and there was Elton John, just smiling away. My friend just stood there, too shocked to say anything and Elton John, still smiling, said, “You Southern boys will never change” and walked away.
