Read the lyrics closer. They are about him learning that he loved be brought between men’s knees. And Philadelphia means “brotherly love”, but he means “Erodelphia”

“Read the lyrics closer. They are about him learning that he loved be brought between men’s knees. And Philadelphia means “brotherly love”, but he means “Erodelphia””

Lyrics by straight singer-songwriter partner Bernie Taupin.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philadelphia_Freedom_(song)

If somebody really, really wants to become upset over music performers and content, better check out the moves by Elvis Presley long before Elton came on the scene.

There was nothing hidden about the puritanical objections to him at the time.

By way of results; born again Elvis drugged himself to death, whereby Elton is clean and sober for a long, long time.

LOL, what?

Jan, aren't you the one who thought a picture of a crack pipe was something to make test tube babies in?
