Elton John is such a wonderful person.

Stern makes a valid point though... Anyway, Prince is Prince.

And some artists (who are more normal than others), like Elton, know how to deal with strange peeps like Prince.

But yeah, a british white gay guy... and then Prince... whatever he thought of Elton... We'll never know.

Top fella, always liked him and love his music, a genius in his own way to me.

Shame they never recorded anything together in the studio.

Both on piano and on the mic in one song, what a dream that could've been.

I like the point that was made. Prince was Prince. Was the "mask" the real guy, or was it really him? The contrasting example of Dolly Parton raises a good point....is that "really her" or is it a persona? Maybe both at once?

Prince never walked down his driveway in a bathrobe and house shoes to fetch the morning paper.

Neither did Sly Stallone, apparently.



lol lol

Anyhoo, Elton has always spoken well of Prince. They respected each other, which was nice to hear considering the pedestrian antics between other bigger names that should be creating music together instead of social media posts about each other.

Every day when I awake, the greatest of joys is mine: that of being ME.

Thought they found him dead in his elevator looking un-Princely dressed...
