Another day, another Elton John outburst, this time directed at President Bush.
In recent weeks, the Rocket Man has exploded at a variety of targets, including Taiwanese photgraphers and Madonna.
Now’s he’s taken aim at the newly re-elected president, calling him ‘the worst thing that has ever happened to America.’
'I’ve never lived in a time so vexing, John told the British magazine Time Out. 'I just wanna scream. Bush and this administration are the worst thing that’s ever happened to America.
John also blasts British Prime Minister Tony Blair, ‘Im just as angry at Tony Blair. You lied to us Tony…It was like: These idiots think they can get away with anything!’
The ironic thing is his “companion” IS from Canada…Toronto, to be precise. My grandmother knows the gentleman’s parents…apparently, every time Elton John’s in town, they’re pretty much front row center.
**Whats the big deal? A lot of people feel that way. **
I’d feel the same way about it if some big rock star or movie star was a rabid Dubya supporter…but I don’t think that species exists in the entertainment world.
This is why Plato banished entertainers from the public discussion of politics
Elton John ceased to matter many, many years ago. Why anyone wants to know what in hell he thinks now is beyond me. Just like many other ‘artists’ or ‘celebrities’ I could name. These people fall into irrelevancy, know it and try desperately to recover - saddo’s, the lot of them.
– Because famous people are horribly awful. As I slide further and further away from the worlds obession with stardom the more I cringe at the site and words of the famous.
