Naah.

My kids like his older stuff too.

Quality is subjective, opinions vary.
I am actually quite fond of EJ’s older stuff ( I have ‘Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy’ on vinyl ).
As for newer stuff, I share your opinion … it’s crap.
I think that many of us older regulars fee the same way about his stuff.
Unfortunately, EJ is wearing the same rose colored glasses that American Idol contestants are wearing when
they audition on the show, and are shown the door because they suck. From years and years of being told by
friends and relatives how ‘great’ they are they are incapable of realizing that they just aren’t any good.

EJ has the same problem.
After many years of putting out some quality work, and constantly getting bombarded by sycophantic praise
even when it is not deserved, he can’t force himself to believe that his creative well has simply run dry.
The only explanation he can accept is that it’s the fault of the ‘Filesharing’ scapegoat.

It’s really sort of sad and pathetic.

So, if you think it’s crap, don’t buy it .. The labels will only blame file sharing as the cause for his crap
not being purchased, even though the real reason people are holding their nose it the smell.

No. His song were and are piece of crap and his lyrics never made any sense regardless of his stance on file sharing.

This is the case for most of these “music stars” by the way. The recording industry does not care about quality because quality and genius are too rare to be profitable. They were just interested in making money.

And the human sheep follow each over to the mediocrity of the brain washers dressed as clown with chicken feathers.

Why we can not have the same quality as what was produced by a Mozart a Beethoven or a Brukner for the music, a Byron, a Poe for the lyric?

Do you know that a single symphony of beethoven contain enough good tunes to make at least 100 hits RIAA standard?

Does things are not supposed to become better with time not worst?

Byron and Poe certainly took a lot more than five minute to write any of their poems unlike Elton John and his “lyrics”.

Do you know how many pages of score contain the Mahler resurrection Symphony?

There is no doubt that John stuff will be completely forgotten as soon as the generation exposed to him passes.

After all, they’ve been made “celebrities” to the point where they THINK everybody else hangs on their every word.

So, why WOULD they challenge the system that makes that possible?

Your average “celebrity” hasn’t been conscious in any sense of the term, for years: either they’re still relatively “fresh”, in which case they’re surrounded by bodyguards, screaming fans, and assorted industry lickspittles, or they’ve become “established”, by which time they’re so hopelessly out of touch with anything even resembling reality that their views on ANY subject — much less p2p — are hopelessly suspect.

I stopped taking ‘celebrities’ seriously the day Sonny Bono said he thought copyright should last “forever minus a day”.

Far be it from me to say anything that could be misconstrued as homophobic, but:

It’s a wonder Sir Elton could manage to say *ANYTHING* about file-sharing, what with the giant corporate DICK crammed so far down his throat!

(Sorry!)

Because of his stance on filesharing .. yes.
His other preference is irrelevant.

There isn’t any need to make up shit about him.
Leave the lying to the RIAA.

HYPOCRIT HYPOCRIT HYPOCRIT. Im going to do my best to get a hold of the guy to let him know his uncle’s partner is making a HUGE mistake!!

Elton John is Homosexual.”

Ya! but his songs are still pieces of crap he is still ugly and he is our enemy.

Sorry!

Yes.
What about them ?

Please cite credible sources.

This is another piece of propoganda that really needs to be put to rest.

Elton John is Homosexual.

Homosexual is not the same as pederasty.
It is wrong and downright HARMFUL to compare the Homosexual community
with Pederasty and other forms of child molestation.

I am not homosexual, but I really HATE to see any group painted as something they are NOT.

Go watch some more FOX news.

I can not believe that some people like this stuff.

Really! Did they forgot what artists where doing during the 19th Century?

Or may be they do not know and have better to take a big deep look.

Why do we have to accept crapy lyric crapy music and people looking like Elton John who need to dress like chiken to hide their mediocrity?

Enougth of this! Let’s burn all his feathers!
