And to think I used to be a huge fan of this guy.

At least they haven’t pushed him off a high building for his homosexuality as they will do in a future Muslim England.

"And to think I used to be a huge fan of this guy."

So was I. And then I turned 15.

" I am not a stupid, colonial, imperialist English idiot.”

Don't sell yourself short, Elton. You're the quintessential English idiot.

[Pajamajan]

The little people are so annoying with all their wanting to be free.

How many of those stupid, colonialist, imperialists bought his music and spent their hard earned money for his concerts? (Bet he hasn't had good ticket sales in Cuba or North Korea.) This is what allowed him to become the arrogant, ingrate, elitist snob he is today.

Same thing goes for most of the Hollywood ilk .

Bye Elton.
Great talent check
Loves football check
But it was because you were born British that you rose to great heights.
That you have decided to thank other entities says everything!

[central_va]

Fag check.

I am not a stupid, colonial, imperialist English idiot.”

The premise that the natural resources of a territory are rightfully the collective property of the population of the territory in which they are found is irrational and idiotic. England exported the know how to develop the resources of its colonies, that the colonies were too idiotic to do for themselves.

I knew that Lady Elton was a worthless,talentless nobody long before I knew he was a faggot.

I think Keith Richard expressed it very well when he said that Lady Elton built an entire career on songs about dead blondes.

[HotHunt]

I used to be a fan too. Even saw him in concert in El Paso back in the mid-70s when I was stationed in New Mexico in the Air Force.

It's possible to like someone's music and ignore their politics.

I don't listen to much music anymore but I never chose my artists by their politics. Back when Elton John was popular, I wouldn't have even known his politics and didn't care. I liked his music.

I love Willie Nelson. But he's a liberal. So what am I supposed to do, ignore his music in favor of disliking his politics? No.

One doesn't need to pick their favorite musicians and their music by their politics. They should pick them for their music abilities and ignore their politics.

I am not a stupid, colonial, imperialist English idiot.”

True, Elton, except for the 'idiot' part...................

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

And, here I thought Elton's schtick was wearing garish glasses, not garishly bad hats...

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

I very much liked his Caribou album so many years ago. After that? Meh. I haven’t listened to anything of his...on purpose...for decades.

[Red Badger]

IOW, SHUT UP AND SING!......................

[DIRTYSECRET]

I’m a fan of Jackson Browne. Laid back rock. Leftist. Doesn’t matter. Rush likes Apple products. He gives them up and they go out of business? I think not. David Ceosby isa real winner.

[Red Badger]

A lot of my youthful energy was spent buying albums of people I now cannot stand..................

“And then I turned 15.”

I must be older than you. Madman Across The Water was an amazing album. Tumbleweed Connection, Honky Chateau were also outstanding works. Anything after Goodbye Yellow Brick Road sucked, tho.

Bill Barr?

“Even saw him in concert in El Paso back in the mid-70s when I was stationed in New Mexico in the Air Force.”

I did too. But it wasn’t crazy Elton. It was him in a tux and tails, a grand piano, and a guy playing percussion. He played for 4 hours with an intermission. One of the top 5 concerts of my life.
