First an admission - watched Piers interviewing Elton. Second, interesting comment from Elton, 'yes I love spending money, I live in England, pay my taxes, work hard and when I spend it goes back into the economy' - Well said that man !!
Clearly pouring the money into a black hole called the government is the least efficient way to use it for individuals, spend it or give it away if you have too much !!!Comment

Elton was a muscial god until he got totally wired on coke.
Bono is a front man for a new wave/punk/soft rock/pop multiple crossover band who have a big budget for touring and a hankering for the sentimental songs you hate. Perfect way of making money in the 80s, somewhere in between the clash and bananarama with songs about American politics.

I hate Elton John - my musical taste stylometer is locked in 1959. However that apart, I did see him at The Rosebowl a few years ago and give the guy his due, he plays a mean 88 - I was really surprised, I thought he'd be like Bobby Crush but he can seriously play that piano....my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...

I love Elton's early stuff and his latest stuff...all his coke influenced work is pure rubbish. And I'm sure he'll admit it himself. I seem to recall Elton saying that he learned piano at the age of 3, and he was quite good even then!
U2's Music is pretty good, guitar work can at times be brilliant. But it just isn't to my liking.
I totally agree however that paying taxes means putting into a plumbing system where £1 goes in and about £0.02 comes out in some useful way. And frankly, a lot of tax money was simply being given to charities that wasted it thinking they were on a never ending gravy train. I can't figure out why Bono would go around telling everyone else to pay taxes knowing all that.
Good on U2 for avoiding wasting their money. And good on the govt. for ending that gravy train.Last edited by lilelvis2000; 1 July 2011, 11:28.McCoy: "Medical men are trained in logic."
