I saw Elton when he kicked off his current Solo Tour in Portland Maine (Feb 28, 2008) and for those of you who say he is washed up you obviously know nothing about music. His music may not be your preference but hell he played the piano for 2 hrs and 45 mins taking breaks only long enough to take a sip of water between songs. And the old fart is 60. As another poster pointed out he has the record for hits over 40 yrs. And if you listen to his ENTIRE body of work over those 40 yrs you would see that there isn't many genres he hasn't covered. My only regret is that the money I paid for my ticket didn't go to Hillary.

I would like to respond to the following statements.
"The Clinton's totally sold out the gay people at every opportunity"
Do you remember that Obama made appearances with a hate monger and anti-gay preacher that once appeared at G W Bush's campaign?

"Isn't Elton John a citizen of the United Kingdom? Are we now the "United Kingdom of the United States"? "
Not sure on this, but it is very possible that he has a duo citizenship because he lives in Georgia and spends a lot of time in Vegas.

"125 dollars a pop for a ticket and Hillary Clinton is for the average person. Not even in her dreams who is she trying to fool, herself."
and
"I'm glad they found a way to keep your average income earner out of the concert! A true step in the right direction for the folks that really matter - the rich. My compliments to Hillary for disqualifying the lower income folks. "
So neither of you remembered that Oprah's fundraiser was $100's a plate and didn't allow any
"regular" people in?

"One night only? He's on a tour, playing small towns like Sudbury and Kitchener Ontario etc.. One night only.."
The event is entitled 'One Night Only,' not his other concert apearances.

"he's been irrelevant for decades?"
and
"Washed-up singer shills for washed-up politician"
Elton John has recored the biggest selling single in history in the last decade. His last album debutted in the American top ten. He also holds the record for the the most consecutive top 40 songs in consecutive years. His live shows consistantly are sold out. Sounds pretty far from been "washed up."

The comments stating the Elton= gay and Hillary = gay is juvenile.

Go Elton! The worst thing that could possibly happen to this country would be the swearing in of Barack Hussein Obama as President. Geez, what a laughing stock America would be made out to be then! Those outside the U.S. think we're complete idiots already and those promoting the racist campaign of Barack Hussein Obama only add more proof that we are totally stupid.

Best wishes to Elton and his fund raiser for Mrs. Clinton. She would make a fine President of the U.S. and certainly return the dignity and respect America needs so desperately.

Those who say such awful things about Senator Clinton are not doing a service to Senator Obama. It makes him look as if he is inciting people to be cruel and hateful. I don't think he is doing this so why don't you follow his lead and speak respectfully while still get your point across?

Oh yeah? Somebody (Obama) call the Dave Matthews Band...quick.
LOL.
That damn band can sell out Radio City Music hall ...or any other hall, quicker then anybody.

Hold on here. Wake up. I deeply support Obama, but the anti-Hillary rudeness responding to this essentially trivial news item is a real problem. Are you all really Obama supporters? Much of this is so far from the civility and respect that Obama tries to insist on that I can't help but wonder if you get his message at all.

Why is that every time Huffington throws out a photo of Hillary it's some kind of silly shot that makes her look foolish? I've yet to see anything of the kind featuring Obama.

It's less than honest and a disservice to those who frequent the site.

Elton is gay; hillary is gay; it makes sense for the queen to sing for the queen.

Hey Rocket Man, Don't go breakin' my heart, just because the Bitch is back!

Hillary and Elton John

WP's The Sleuth reports that Elton John is playing a benefit concert for the Clinton campaign in New York on April 9th.

Citing Mr. John's previous statements in his prior endorsements, the Sleuth wonders "what he'll call Hillary" this time.

Perhaps he'll sing:

'And it seems to me

You run your campaign

Like a candle in the wind...

Never knowing what persona

We will find you in;

And when the phone rings out at 3

Which one will answer it?

Your candle flickers long before

We'll find the one that's hid'

Or hidden, as the case may be."

The Clinton's totally sold out the gay people at every opportunity. Elton John is playing with gay rights like a candle in wind.

Washed-up singer shills for washed-up politician.
What fun.

All money from all foreigners is welcome in the Clinton pay to play game and always has been. They play with the same dirty boys as the Bushes - dictators like Nursultan A. Nazarbayev and swarthy financiers like Canadian mining financier Frank Giustra who co-produced Bill's 60th pay to play birthday party with Chelsea and wife Hillary. Frank is the pay-to-play guy who got the oil deal in Kazakhstan after Bill visited George Bush and daddy Bush's buddy, President for life Nazarbayev, via Frank's private jet while on a so-called a three-country philanthropic tour. The article details how Giustra then "donated" over $130 Million to Bill's "foundation" - see second NY Times article. Is this why Hillary won't come clean on their tax filings?

Reference NYTimes articles:
Oil, Cash and Corruption -both the Clinton and Bush Administrations looked the other way : http://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/05/business/yourmoney/05giffen.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=Kazakhstan+clinton&st=nyt&oref=slogin
and then this article re Bill Clinton: After Mining Deal, Financier Donated to Clinton

Too late to board a sinking ship.

Hillary newest scandal:

Go to www.lasuperiorcourt.org (Los Angeles Superior Court)

and look in the CIVIL Column, then Click on CASE SUMMARIES then enter these numbers in the box BC304174. It is an ACTIVE CASE and has been since January. Sen. Clinton has not disclosed it. She needs to disclose this along with her tax returns and ear-marks and library donors.

Come on HuffPost - please do a story about this and expose the truth!

What happen to all the star party the Clinton's use to have? Where did they go?

Isn't Elton John a citizen of the United Kingdom? Are we now the "United Kingdom of the United States"? That's right, we need to crown "Queen Hillary".

Holy Sheep Dip, I hope he's not planning to rewrite "Candle In The Wind" again too! Yikes!

One old queen singing for another.

He's gay. She's gay. Makes sense

LOL...Only HRC would throw herself a birthday party to rake in campaign contributions!

Don't go breaking my heart, rocket man.

125 dollars a pop for a ticket and Hillary Clinton is for the average person. Not even in her dreams who is she trying to fool, herself.

I'm still a fan of his, even though he is sadly misguided.

ROCK ON ELTON JOHN!!!!!!!!

He is a music legend, and a hero to the LGBT community. Good to see he is stepping up for Hillary!!!!


THANKS ELTON!!!
