I have been a fan of Elton and Bernie since I was 10 years old, "Your Song" funnily enough was the song that brought me to this particular Alter.
After that, I had and still have most of the Albums, infact I received 2 of the old albums on CD form my eldset Son this Christmas.
(It was either those or "Call Of Duty Modern Warfare", but I have grown tired of killing Zombies )
I made no secret of being an EJ fan back then, and when he bravely came out in the mid 70's, I was ridiculed at school because of it.
Somehow with those peoples' twisted logic, If I liked a gay performer, then I must be gay !
I paid no heed, and for 50 years have enjoyed the timeless and mysterious lyrics penned by Mr Taupin, and the wonderful melodies that Elton can produce.
He's 69 now, and can still out perform anyone who is alive today or aver has been.
IF there is such a thing as reincarnation, then Elton John is Wolfang Amadeus Mozart. And what a ball he is having, and well deserved.
Probably having a much better life than some dinosaur with those 70's long outdated prejudices at the front of his mind.
Long Live the Queen of England, Long may she reign....
PS. As a Suggestion, I would listen to the new Album "Wonderful Crazy night" it really is a great feelgood album. Its on Youtube, then go and buy it, as there are 2 tracks that will not be found on Youtube that are on the CD.
