Nothing unusual about it. It’s what they do. Now if you’d like to save 15% on your car insurance.....
I read the article and learned the word “Blighty.”
I saw The Stones in concert last year in Buffalo, NY.
For three hours straight, not one person in the 80,000 seat stadium sat down.
Including me. And my nearly 60 year old ass doesn’t stand that long for anything.
Elton may be a fruit, but the albums he put out from 1970 - 1976 were great. He went downhill after he stopped writing with Bernie Taupin.
I hope when he retires Elton will still keep ripping on other celebrities. “Carnival stripper” is the best description I’ve ever heard of Madonna and “monkey with arthritis” is pretty apt for Keef, too. Keef was right about the song, though.
I’m sure there’s an arthritic monkey somewhere that was offended by that comment.
Funny how fame and fortune work out, Elton John is now a knight and Bernie Taupin is just a guy who wrote songs for Elton......
An old bitch his writing is limited to songs about dead blondes. - Keith on Elton
Swinging handbags!
“I have great respect for the Stones but they would have been better if they had thrown Keith out 15 years ago”
Nobody ever accused Elton John of having a lick of sense.
The above comment is a good illustration of why.
Without Mick, Keith or Charlie, there are no Stones.
Yeah, you know, like when you get on an elevator and hear roadhouse jukebox music or when you go into a roadhouse and it's all elevator music. Same space.
“I suppose the Stones will be touring another 20 years at this rate.”
They just announced another world tour, one that could last up to two years. And every seat, every venue will be sold out.
They will also be delivering a new album in 2018. Their last album won a Grammy in 2017 as the best traditional blues album.
Not bad for a bunch of old guys that were rumored to be over the hill 30 years ago. Since, every time they do a tour it grosses more than all other acts combined, and every album goes platinum.
They have some real talent.
More like a cat fight.
He re-recorded it in 1997 in honor of princess Di. He even got Bernie Taupin to revise the lyrics. But it was very overproduced IMO.
“For three hours straight, not one person in the 80,000 seat stadium sat down.”
When they warm up and shift into overdrive, there’s not another band in the world that even comes close.
The human riff.
Elton John is a talented musician, but on a different planet from Keith Richards, who is also a talented musician. They’ve both got their personal problems and deficiencies. I fear for Elton John’s “son,” being raised by such a militant unrepentant homosexual. They’re both a little too old for rock & roll now, but there’s no fool like an old fool. I’d expect a catty spat out of Elton John. It’s surprising from Keith Richards.
