ELTON WRITES SO MUCH SHIT HE NEEDS TEN JOHNS

The man is 68 years old. Practically dead.

He has homes in England, Atlanta, Las Vegas, right? And now a fucking MANSION in California?

$34 million is not a bargain. Just because it may have been overpriced, it's still an insane amount of money.

The guy is supposedly settled down with his "husband" and his adopted kiddies. Yet this fruitcake is acting like he needs to hold orgies and have dozens of jet-setting spongers hanging all over the place to keep him company. What example is he setting for his kiddies when he's got shallow nitwits staying in all those extra bedrooms, and parties that require so many garages for all those big fancy cars?

What a wretched excess. What a turn-off. It's one thing to write sludgy bad music for the past 20 years, and boast about Disney drivel only children could stand, but to waste all that income on a gigantic mansion? Anyone who actually bought one of his "no, really, this is a GOOD CD, I'm not on drugs and I worked really hard on this" releases has to feel like a fool. It's one thing to get snookered but figure, ok, maybe the guy can use the money. It's another to know that he's just wasting money hand over fist over scrotum.

I'm not suggesting he should give it to the poor, or even do the Cosby bit and create scholarships at schools and colleges, but yet another home, yet another MANSION?

The haters have good reason to hate. Here's somebody who could have all the good will in the world if he did some autograph signings at a reasonable rate (whether the money went to charity or not), or if he did some intimate or decently-priced concerts outside of fuckin' Vegas. But instead he's the world's biggest sell-out, and he has nothing better to do than pay a fortune (even if it's a "bargain") on a white elephant that will take a huge staff to maintain.

At one time, Elton used at least SOME of his money properly. It was impressive that even if he could get all the records he wanted free, he'd actually patronize stores, BUY the records, and support the artists. Consider what this prick could've done by setting up, for less than $100,000, an office to fight piracy with a few volunteers reporting abuses on behalf of anyone who asked for help. How about bringing back Rocket Records and giving a few dozen artists the prestige of "signed by Elton John" for their first release?

Instead he's wasting $34 million on what isn't even a full-time home.

You don't hear shit like this about Billy Joel, Davie Bowie, Bob Dylan or even Paul McCartney. They don't do this opulent, fruity, arrogant, obnoxious in-your-face Lifestyles of the Sassy nonsense. Back when he was buying six trillion pairs of glasses and all kinds of insane outfits, it was almost forgivable. He was rock's Liberace. But Liberace's antics went out of style and people stopped being impressed by extravagant fur coats and garishly colored limousines and what, in one word, is WASTE.

It seemed that in his sober old age, Elton realized he could come out on stage in something besides ostrich feathers or a $50,000 bright yellow suit and just play music. It seemed like he'd sold his closets of garbage and realized how ludicrous it was to own so much junk.

Now he's back to showing off and deciding he needs a mansion for his "husband" and a few brats. He needs to party for other rich and ridiculous clowns.

The planet is dying and this guy is acting like it's ancient Rome. Goody for his "husband," his brats and his jet-set shallow fag friends. But to anyone normal, this show-off shit absolutely stinks.
