Elton John has brought joy to many. Madonna is not my cup of tea. But so sorry, but when there's a lunatic in charge of the world's most powerful country being manipulated by fascist oligarchs, I should care because...? Why, exactly?
Because when they steal our joy too, that’giving them even more power. Everyday magic of human existence should to be celebrated, if not, what are we fighting for?
Liz, your's is the best response so far to my lack of interest in such things. I only responded to the post because I'm a big fan of Elton John, but Madonna not so much. I think her work is derivative and exploitative, but that's just my opinion and I know many disagree--and I'm okay with that too.
I can actually agree with you on that. I’m a huge Elton John fan Madonna not so much and I hate fascists so I think we can agree on that. I was merely pointing out that sometimes it’s the trivial silly things that are gonna save us from this madness, mentally at least
THIS is a fact that not many people know.
Another famous one is when he performed with Eminem after Eminem had said some really homophobic shit. He donated his performance fee to GLAAD, and made such a positive impression on Eminem, he donated his fee too, and they've been friends ever since.
