Poltico has a good background story on how Elton John ended up crooning at Limbaugh’s 100th wedding.
John’s other project — crooning with rapper Eminem may have paid off, after all. In a New York Times interview, he expresses his support for marriage equality.
You’ve been accused of writing gay-bashing lyrics in the past. Would you like to see gay marriage approved in Michigan, where you live?
I think if two people love each other, then what the hell? I think that everyone should have the chance to be equally miserable, if they want.
So, maybe John will have the same magical effect on Rush? If he does, we should have him take over the LGBT movement and just have him tour anti-gay events, winning over one homophobe at a time. Before you know it, they will all be singing (or rapping) our tune.
I’m more curious as to why Rush chose Elton in the first place, given his “conservative” nature; I don’t exactly see Elton as being very conservative!
Fess up, Rush!!
He did it so he could say on his radio program that he wasn’t a bigot. (And that’s exactly what he did!) He had a gay singer and a black minister (who happened to be a rabid homophobe of the (day eat da poo poo) variety, and Elton walked right into it. I’m sure the cool million he made helped with his decision.
I guess rush’s listeners are stupid enough to think that a mexican basher who hires one to cut his grass ‘isn’t really a bigot’.
