*edit*
But yes, he is a very talented musician. I say that much.

so...homosexuals are not allowed within a 20-foot radius of your person?

Homosexuals are not a problem for me. Those that advertise thier homosexuality to get attention (or who knows what) are lame.

When did Elton John advertise it? The poor guy was hounded by the press about his sexuality until he was forced to admit he was gay.

Homophobes are funny. They get pissed when someone tells them they are gay, and accuse them of advertising for attention. Then they get pissed when their friends are gay, but keep it from them. Take your pick, do you want them in the closet, or out?



i think people knew even when he was in the closet.

That picture isn't from his "pre outta the closet days". Sure you can find pictures now that he looks like that.

Michael Stipe (REM) got the same bs, i mean how long do you expect someone to hear gay jokes before they just come out? The media are the ones who invade these peoples lives. Can't blame him for coming out. Plus he's an ENTERTAINER. You could say the same thing for the way Britney Spears sells her sex, the way Slayer sells satan, the way Marilyn Manson sells shock rock....and so on. They are here to entertain you. Whats the difference from the people listed above and Elton John? He actually has talent hidden behind his image.

That picture IS from his "pre outta the closet days".

Since he went public, he has toned down a lot.

The media is pretty sick, but that's another discussion entirely.

No kidding.

Some gay group was bashing him for performing with Eminem (I don't particularly LIKE Eminem, but I think some of his songs are good).

What the heck? He doesn't have to represent you becuase he's gay. Elton recognized talent when he saw it, and Eminem wanted to show that he's not really a "gay-basher" as people labeled him.

Actually, Elton did this with Axel Rose, who was a gay basher as well. I have a feeling he does it to build acceptance, rather than hatred.

Thats what both Elton and Eminem said - Eminem wanted to say "Hey - I just write this stuff.. it's not always what I believe" (etc). Elton wanted to say "I have talent. He has talent. I'm gay. He's not. No biggie."

In less words, of course :0

I think someone is over compensating for some very deep-rooted homosexual tendencies, with a statment like that.


And yes Reginald White aka Elton John is very talented.

I don't care guy gets his donut glazed every night, he is an incredible musician and, by all accounts, a nice guy.

Your homophobia has become tiresome.

TECHNOGEEKY, my comment was definitely NOT directed at you. :) Sorry if it seemed that way. Just wanted to say that publicly.

I only flame a few "special people." They know who they are. ;)



Oh, and the rest of you that "are tired of my homophobia"; If you don't like what you're reading, then don't read it. If you don't like what you're listening to, change the channel. Etc. Get it? :p

I like when Elton John starts doing his uptempo blues stuff. Phenomenal.

When I listen to Elton John I hear music not orientation. How sad it would be to hear something beautiful and only be able to think of somebody?s butt. And everybody knows what it means when you start dwelling on another guy's ass. There's no closet like the one you're in from yourself, I guess.

I just think that people need to recognize sources of excellent music.

Michael Jackson and Elton John are just two of many artists that changed music as a whole - we need to recognize that, despite their strange (or freakishly weird in MJ's case) lifestyles.

Elton John's songwriting and piano skills are insane.

*edit* Nor am I homosexual. I don't have a problem with homosexuals, either. Just respecting those who have far more talent than me.
Damn you! Now I'm listening to Michael Jackson's "Beat it"

haha...

Thats his real name
Actually, his real name is Reginald Dwight.

yes.

He is incredibly talented, orientation is meaningless.

I've seen him probably 6 times in concert, and I think that his stuff before 1977 was his best. My favorite albums:

1. Madman Across the Water
2. Don't Shoot Me, I'm Only the Piano Player
3. Honkey Chateau
4. Tumbleweed Connection
5. Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy
6. Goodbye YellowBrick Road

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is one of the best albums of all time, without a doubt!

MichaelD, if you truly believe that some people should "just stay the hell away from" you because of their sexual orientation, then you'll be missing out on meeting some incredible people. I'd rather hang out with a gay guy any day of the week, than someone who hates gay people for no rational reason.

If you had kept reading, you'd see that was a response to a comment that Michael made.(which I thought was directed at me)


I have a few gay friends, and a few gay family friends. No different than any other. They can be more fun to hang out with sometimes, though, for various reasons. Who cares!

Sounds like someone with a serious case of closet homosexual tendencies trying to act out in an attempt to hide it.
Hey, MD is a purebred cracker. :)

Maybe you can point me to the function that allows users to ignore other users' posts. If we have one, then I will definitely use it.
