Elton John: A Case of a Grown Man Behaving Badly

[The Fox]

I have been a Elton John fan since I was 18. Last week I purchased a reissue of one of my favorite cds of his: Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboys. But the way he behaved in Taiwan two days ago and the foul language that he used because of the paparazzi was unacceptable. This is a man who has an entire entourage of employees to deal with issues such as this. I have been told continually as a youngster and a young adult not to stoop to the level of your antagonists- it only brings you to their level or below. That is what he did. It was regrettable.
On a personal level it is disappointing for me to see this man whose
collection of works I like so much, behave like this.

I saw some kind of clip of this. Basically, I saw the tantrum thrown by Elton. What I wanted to know is what the press said? What on earth sent Sir Elton over the edge?

[The Fox]

It has been covered by all the press websites.
Reuters-New York Post- The Globe and Mail of Toronto etc
as well as Extra Tv and Hollywood Access

It has happened before and some people in the press have suggested
he should stop touring until he can manage his anger.

I sure hope Elton is OK. What's up with these outbursts??

About Elton John: I think these reports are a little scary and sad. I can't pretend to know what it's like having photographers constantly following you in public, but it makes me wonder why that particular group set him off. And about the Madonna flap, I think Madonna's "people" handled the attack with class.

However, I want to change the topic just a bit to ask about the new picture/avatar with Lindsay's postings. Lindsay: Is that a picture of the back of your wedding gown? Very artsy shot! And by the way, where is your complete minute-by-minute report of the wedding and honeymoon? Or at least a few details. Some of us were trying to hold down the fort here while you busy doing other things!

[TheViolinSkirt]

Well, not to rant/vent here, but I wrote a complete run down weeks ago in the 'Members' forum on the site (2 in fact). I even included a link to honeymoon photos and info reguarding how to view the wedding pics. Seems this forum has been a ghost town and makes Remi wonder why.

I accept my forty lashes with a wet noodle. Must remember to scroll...must remember to scroll...must remember to scroll.

But Lindsay, what about the picture? Is it of you, or did you take it of someone else?

[TheViolinSkirt]

That's my back.

Nice picture, and the gown looks lovely. I did look through your Vegas pictures, too. You two sure saw a lot.
