Sir Elton John Can Bite Me!

Posted April 25, 2008 on QueerNetwork

It's 9pm on Friday night and I am sitting 5 blocks from the Pensacola Civic Center where Sir Elton John is playing.

But I am not there...

I know several of Elton's people and asked for tickets to the concert - even offering to pay for them - but no tickets.

I have been a tireless activist for HIV/AIDS education over the years and have posted many items for Elton - even promoting the Elton John AIDS Foundation (EJAF) on my emails. But this snub is too much!

I will no longer support the EJAF and will be dropping the tagline. I will also no longer defend Elton when people say he will only support your organization or event if you give money to the EJAF.

I will never listen to Elton John again and throw out ALL my CDs. I am that mad!

And Barron, I wish I never posted your protests against WSB Channel 2 in Atlanta for Alex seeing how you treated me.
