Given our DU-ness & his history, would we go to an Elton concert?
Somebody of his stardom is rare in this area. What about his recent history, the rapprochement with Eminem and LIMBOsevic. His greatest hits had a resonance back when for my generation. I've *disapproved* in recent years, on a political level---wow, I'm sure he will have no peace of mind over my disapproval.

The reality is that I don't need that much entertainment and don't go to concerts but am mildly piqued. Perhaps I can show a couple of moments of disapproval by turning my nose up or something, for a moment.


As for the "don't need that much entertainment": On a trip in Florida, I went to a VFW (how's that for cutting loose?!1) and there was the elderly barmaid, an elderly married couple as customers, and me. I did what I do and was contentedly interacting. They repeatedly apologized for the lack of action and finally said that they were having a fish fry and dancing on Friday. I said, "I really don't need that much entertainment..."

1. I don't know about "we", but I sure as hell would go see him.
His personal opinions, etc., have nothing to do with me liking his music. I've heard he puts on a great concert. I'd love to see him.

2. I'm not interested in seeing him.
Maybe if it was 1976 and I had a free ticket, I would.

3. I saw him some 10 years ago, and he was really, really great.
He does not phone in one second.

4. When he could still sing I would have.
