And you can tell everybody this is your song...


Last week Elton John earned the Hillary Clinton campaign over two million dollars in his solo performance at Radio City Music Hall. He was introduced the stage by President Bill Clinton, Senator Hillary Clinton, and their daughter Chelsea. It was a compilation of classics including Rocket Man, Bennie and the Jets, and Tiny Dancer. In his sequined blazer, red silk high necked blouse, and a major bling of a cross, he praised Hillary and their long standing rapport. Regardless of political standing, it is indisputable that Elton John gives a great performance. His voice is as sharp and melodic live as it is on his albums. It was exciting to see the president I am nostalgic for, but above all it was electrifying to be in the presence of one of the 20th Century's great musical phenomenons.
