As a member of rock 'n' roll royalty, Sir Elton John does not take kindly to being outranked.

Not even by Princes William and Harry.

So when his chauffeur-driven people carrier was stopped because of royal security around the Concert for Diana, the veteran singer flew into one of the rages for which he is renowned.

"Get out of my ****ing way," he screamed at a policeman. "Don't you know who I am? I've been working all ****ing day and I need to get to my ****ing dressing room."

[kevkrom]

Well, a queen outranks a Prince any day, don’t ya know?

[80 Square Miles]

Class tells, and it’s easy to tell he has no class.

[randog]

Nothing funnier than a raging poofter.

[RDTF]

[ClearCase_guy]

Sounds like quite a hissy fit.

[RedRover]

Unless it’s a badly aging, raging poofter.

[RDTF]

that’s funny

[GQuagmire]

What is that on his arm? On second thought I don't want to know

[Hegemony Cricket]

“DON’T YOU KNOW WHO I AM?????”

dementia sucks, don’t it?

[Vision]

I get the feeling he’s a complete jerk.

Saw his show in Vegas last year, it’s repulsive.

[Hegemony Cricket]

Ha. Didn’t know a Flock of Seagulls was going to be there...

[Tijeras_Slim]

What is that on his arm?

Never stand under a tree full of turkey vultures.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Much better! And faster! LOL!

[True Republican Patriot]

What a Classless Buffoon,WOW!

[theDentist]

Walk, you garish queen.

[CholeraJoe]

It’s a shame that class doesn’t come with the knighthood.

[VR-21]

The words “Sir” and “Elton” never really worked for me.

[Hegemony Cricket]

Heh - reminded me of this:

[sarasota]

His voice just isn’t what it used to be.

[martin_fierro]

Everybody now bring your family down to the riverside
Look to the east to see where the fat stock hide
Behind four walls of stone the rich man sleeps
It’s time we put the flame torch to their keep

[Vision]

Did you see Red Piano?

[sarasota]

No. What is it?

I went to just hear Levon. Horrendous show.

There are four sections of seats emanating from the stage. He comes out and gets into a song, the vocals are low in what I expect was to hide the quality of his voice.

After almost every song he gets up and walks to the other side of the stage and takes a bow, to every section of seats. So picture it, he’s taking four bows inbetween every song. And he's milking every section for attention.

At one point you could see he was getting upset that he wasn’t getting enough applause so he physically was waving his arms up and down to increase the volume.

The first thing which made me uneasy was the stage prop vegas casino sign flashing “cocktail” that would flash “cock” then “tail”. It may not seem like much but it was odd and a sign of things to come.

The worst part, which made it unbearable was the homo erotic and just perverse movies played on the entire stage background during the song, whose images where so large it was nearly impossible to avoid looking at it.

Movies of his life which included gay party boys wearing only short shorts passed out on backstage couches with mirrors of cocaine next to them. Images of the alice in wonderland rabbit doing coke with a huge spoon up it’s nose. The worst was a scene where the elton character tried to kill himself in a gas oven to be saved by an angel who lead him into a room where a naked women sat down in an electric chair, and was electrocuted while flames shot out of her vagina.

Meanwhile some young stylish women are standing up waving their hands and bodies to all this. It was one of the most bizarre hours of my life.

I'd like my money back, and a few bucks for damages.

My wife and I saw Keith Urban last Friday night. Comparing your description of Levon’s gig to what we saw of KU, it sounds like we got a much better deal. My wife loves KU. He put on a great show.

[Publius6961]

My my...
Such unaristocratic language!

Hate to break this to you, fruitcake, but princes outrank knights.

Just saying.

[sarasota]

Egads. How horrific. You should have asked for your money back. Was this in Vegas?

[sarasota]

I saw Keith when he opened for Kenny Chesney several years ago. And Dirks Bentley opened for Keith.

[weegee]

DNA stain.

[Vision]

What women doesn’t like KU?

[Vision]

Yea, Ceasers Palace.

[Sue Perkick]

Blind ones ;-)

[Vision]

The only problem I have with him is all he sings about is love. Just sings about...love.

Get some material man.

[Sue Perkick]

Can’t argue with that.

Once went to a dedication dinner and former LA Mayor Richard Rhiorden had a few words at the dias.

he told the story of once visiting an old folks home in the suburbs. Leaning down to an invalid he said "hello, do you know who I am?". The senior replied "no, but if you ask at the front desk, they'll tell you..."

[avacado]

Sometimes Elton John just acts so... well, gay!

[dfwgator]

Must have been that time of the month for Miss Dwight.

[raccoonradio]

remember when he said if it were up to him he’d ban religion?

[Gay State Conservative]

Devoid of talent *and* class.Who wouldda thunk it?

[Hoffer Rand]

Some got on his shoes, too.

[80 Square Miles]

I’d actually forgotten that. There are so many fruitcakes out there, it’s hard to keep track of who said what nutty nonsense.

[Shimmer128]

Lee Greenwood concert tonight! and free too!

"What is that on his arm? On second thought I don't want to know"

Something similar on a blue Gap dress was once a major news story...
