Elton John Talks About His Experience With Rush Limbaugh

popeater.com:

Elton John is famous for speaking his mind, and he's at it again, this time in a fascinating and lengthy interview with the Telegraph newspaper, in which he goes in-depth about his past addiction issues, new music (which the paper describes as "his best in more than 30 years") and his relationships with controversial conservative radio personality Rush Limbaugh and rapper Eminem.

The legendary singer received widespread criticism earlier this year when he accepted the staunchly anti-gay marriage Limbaugh's invitation to perform at his wedding. "When [Limbaugh] asked me to play at his wedding, my agent said, 'Well, of course you won't be doing it,'" John tells the Telegraph. "But I said, 'Well, let me think about that first.' ... Limbaugh's not anti-civil partnerships, so maybe I can have a dialogue about that. I've put my foot in the water and so has he. I got on with him very well, got on very well with his wife."

What happened to all that "tolerance" and "acceptance" stuff?
 
And, if being gay isn't bad, why are people here wishing or speculating that Limbaugh is a homosexual?

If it were me, I too would make Limbaugh reach very deep in his pockets

The sell out monkey played the piano and got paid big bananas for his puppet act. It's sad that Elton sold his integrity for a cheap price and gave Rush his best wedding story. "I got the biggest "Flamer" to play at my last wedding, too bad he will never be able to get married so I could make a million singing at his, ha ha. Life as a bigot is grand. "

Rush Limbaugh paid the bill. That appears all there is to it.

Couldn't he get Rush to come out of the closet?

I always knew Elton John had experience with Rush Limbaugh!

I know Elton John was a phoney. He just proved it. I've lost all respect for him.

He's getting old and he hadn't put away for his extended health care insurance. The Rush wedding gig gave him the money to pay the premiums for several years.

That just shows you that rich people like the company of other rich people, even if it reeks of hyprocrisy and pretentiousness. There is no shame with the greedy even if they have to sleep with the enemy. Birds of a feather....

So GasBag doesn't like Gays; that doesn't make him unique. I would have thought that Elton John would have been offended by Rush's frequent slander of Lady Di a few years back. Go figure?

There's so much I can say here. I bought "Elton John" his 2nd album based on a strong review in Rolling Stone before I heard a sound. Through the years he he has shown himself to be this bitter ole queen that overspends and goes on tirades about others.

It would be really heartbreaking if I hadn't left that Yellow Brick Road beyond, a long time ago.

Elton discovered both Rush and Obama favor civil unions vs gay marriage.

The nerve of him, mingling with sinners that way!

If we wanna put this into religious terms, Limbaugh isn't a sinner so much as he works for the guy below, is a lackey for Beelzebub, a shill for his sa.tanic majesty, top propagandist of Hate, Inc.,

Rush Limbaugh is Josef Goebbels to Lucy's Adolf.

They're both ex-addicts and I'm pretty sure they're both gay.

My sentiments, exactly!

I doubt that both thing.
