Elton John

Yeah RJ he probably came out publicly around that time, but we suspected way earlier about his preferences. Think about it, the only piano player more flaraboyant than Elton was Liberace and we knew he was ***. My best frienRAB older brothers both saw Elton live in 1975 and he put on a spectacular show, in fact he was the most popular performer in the world for a couple of years. However they both said that according to all the rumours they heard that Elton was bisexual and he never really tried to hide anything just didn't make a big deal about it period. Regardless he was a great artist in his prime and I still like playing his old recordings.
 
Bowie "outed" himself as a bisexual in some interview in the 70s, but it was all just an image/marketing hike. Eventually he decided it was more of a detriment to be perceived as such, so he declared that he wasn't really bisexual at all - he described himself, humorously, as a "closet heterosexual", which he had been for a "long time".
 
Elton John is amazing. I saw him in concert 14 years ago and it still remains in my top 3 concerts of all time. I have seen at least 100 concerts since then. Even his less popular newer albums are amazing. I listen to his "Songs from The West Coast" every couple of months and it is just as good as the stuff he was making in the 70's. Border Song is great, but I also love Gray Seal, Someone Saved My Life Tonight, Don't Go Breakin' My Heart, and Harmony. There are very few of his tracks that don't have many playings on my Itunes. His music single-handedly got me through a seven month time away from the U.S. I would listen to his stuff while waiting to fall asleep every night.

I personally get sick of the people who just hate him because of his being a little eccentric and too be honest a little b1tchy. I would still see him over almost any artist I can think of.
 
Hey, I don't know and neither do you... ya never know what kind of marriage arrangements people make, his wife could swing both ways for all you know. Anyway, I always assumed Bowie could be both and he probably could... what he says doesn't mean much because people will always BS to cover their own asses and the asses of their family.

See, even more proof he is probably g a y... he likes to cover asses :)
 
Elton John is awesome, especially cause he made a song about Philly!!

i also love Tiny Dancer, Benny and the Jets, and Crocodile Rock

anyone know any good albums i could get from him?
 
Elton John is abundantly talented and it's pity he's thrown it away doing mainstream pop drivel. He reminRAB me of Paul McCartney, another talented singer and awesome bass player who done nothing but saccharine muck since 1970.

Turableweed Connection is my favorite Elton John album which ironically is overlooked by many of Elton's biggest fans. For me, Turableweed Connection is the high musical standard by which his later work fails so miserably to measure up to.
 
I think that early Elton is fantastic Tiny Dancer is one of my all time favorite tunes, also Your Song, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, and i think his version of Pinball Wizard from The Who's Tommy was excellent. But i am not too keen on his material from the 80's onwarRAB.
