Elton John was supposedly paid a million bucks to play at right-wing rabblerouser Rush Limbaugh's fourth wedding yesterday. It's not like Elton needs the money. As money hungry as they are, I suspect that the Stones would not have done the same if asked.

At least not without ensuring they played an extended version of Sweet Neo Con.

That's very strange. A renown gay man playing at the wedding of a renown homophobe (and much else). Elton must have needed the money to pay for another hair transplant.

Lord have mercy

youre wrong ,throw enough money at any artist including the stones and they will perform .there is nothing wrong with that it's how you pay the bills .what are you supposed to do say no because of some political issue ?you will go broke like that .more power to them .

JERUSALEM - The U.S. rock band Pixies has canceled a concert in Tel Aviv this week in the wake of Israel's deadly raid on a Gaza-bound aid flotilla.

more power to THEM. them being the pixies.

Correct.

They'd have done it for 5 million, because their asking price is higher than Elton's.

LOL. It's a sure thing that our boys would've done it for 5 mil and I don't think they'd have the guts to play Sweet Neo Con.

I was WAY more surprised that Elton would play for Rush than that Rush would hire Elton to play.

Whether you believe it or not...even though Rush is passionate about his political beliefs....it does not impact
every area of his life. THose that listen to him know....those that only believe what the mainstream
press says about Rush have NO idea.

On the other hand, Elton has been very outspoken (politically speaking) too. Unlike Rush...who combats
liberalism with ideas and debate....Elton angrily shoots his mouth off. Elton is less controlled and
tends to says stuff like "American Idol voters are racist" when they don't pick a black contestant
or homophobic for similar reasons.

I'm a fan of both of them. ( '70s era Elton & current era Rush)

My first thought (upon hearing this) was that obviously Elton did it for the money...even though he's
got a lot, he spends even faster than he makes it. And knowing that Rush had been a music (radio) DJ..and his
taste in classic rock "bumper music".....I was not at all surprised that he could look past
political differences in the name of good music.

Heck if we NON-Liberals only listened to / watched NON-Liberal entertainers....the pickings would be slim.

I would bet my bottom dollar that Rush gave Elton a GLOWING introduction. I hope Elton was equally a gentlemen.

WOnder if it was taped & bootlegged yet.

(just googled this story looking for more info.. the intolerant Left is out in full force...they can't understand how people
can separate political views & musical taste)


IORR............but I like it!

Rush does'nt care about hiring a gay man to play his wedding. Because he does'nt really give a crap about the BS and hatred he spews on the radio. It's just shtick to get him bigger ratings and money....Elton on the other hand must have needed the money.

sounds like you're not a listener.

doesn't seem like you'd agree w/Rush....but if you'd at least listen, you could draw your own opinion
instead of regurgitating what the mainstream media spews.

Seems you can't understand how people can separate political views & musical taste.

mickscarey....you could not be more correct.

Did you really need 4 edits to say 'this'? Amazing, or actually and logically maybe not surprising at all.

the edits were to correct typos...and add tidbits instead of doing another post. you seem overly concerned about this.

the GOP are a weird bunch. they portray themselves as a tough, no-bullshit, strong on defense macho men that are here to destroy the enemy and raise the fist in victory, yet, when someone makes light of them, such as your boyfriend paul mccartney the other day, the GOP act like a bunch of weak crybabies. it amuses me.

Agreed. Fox News, Limbaugh, Beck, etc. are nothing but a bunch of hateful, racist liars. Al Franken even wrote one of my favorite book titles ever: Rush Limbaugh is a Big, Fat Idiot and other Observations.

Disappointed in EJ but then again it is probably time for another round of hair transplants.

As for Limbaugh, he was an announcer for minor league baseball games. He goes from that occupation to being some sort of guru who knows all about politics, or at least some think so. Go figure..........

obama is doing a great job -- HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH

I'd like to think Elton did it so that he could donate the money to charity.

He knows what Limbaugh represents.

mickscarey, george w. bush did a great job as well!
this political ping pong match can go on and on and on, so let's just stop before you make a fool of yourself. oh wait....

Sounds like a classy wedding, where the groom introduces the band . . .

Maybe he cold donate it to Rev. Wright's church. You know, the hate-spewing racist whose church Obama always attended but apparently never "listened"

Wrong with me? Nothing. Real question is why so many seemingly innocuous posts are turned into Republican bashing by the usual hate-filled crowd on this site -- they know who they are.

oh did we hurt your precious feelings, mickscarey? here, this will make everything all better! they're smiling, just for you! even paul is giving you a thumbs up! you'll be fine, mickscarey.

not at all. by the way, I do not like the beetels.
