Elton John paid $1 million to sing
Elton John paid $1 million to sing


On Saturday talk radio star Rush Limbaugh paid Elton John $1 million dollars to perform at his fourth wedding. It was an unlikely choice for the portly right wing commentator who has previously denied the severity of AIDS in Africa, or that AIDS affects the heterosexual community in the U.S.

It was also an an unlikely gig for the British singer, a leading AIDS activist and outspoken campaigner against homophobia.

Limbaugh, 59, married a woman almost half his age Kathryn Rogers, 33, at a ceremony in Florida's Palm Beach. The guests were a register of right wing luminaries including Republican strategist Karl Rove, former New York City mayor Rudolph Giuliani and Fox News talk-show host Sean Hannity.

Sir Elton serenaded 400 guests into the wee hours, with security on hand. Proceeds from John's wedding concerts usually go to the Elton John AIDS Foundation and it is anticipated that his takings from this concert will do likewise.

At the end of the day Limbaugh will be donating a seven figure sum to the very groups he has belittled and scorned throughout his career. That prospect must have been what attracted Sir Elton in the first place.

I think Elton will be laughing at Rush all the way to the bank to deposit the check into his AIDS Foundation. And Elton will write off the donation while Rush pays the bill. Right on, Elton!!

Perhaps if DOCLORRIE and WARD606 would listen to Rush now and then...they might have a different view. Sometimes the TRUTH hurts.....especially hyprocites.

If this had been a Kennedy would you have reported the story the same way? "entertained by GAY Elton John", and "attended by LEFT WING luminaries". I think not.

Shame on you Elton!!! what the hell were you thinking, supporting in any way shape or form that crazy gay-bashing hypocrite ass, who doesn't even ackwoledge how bad AIDS is. I am completely disappointed in you

Rush usually avoids any references to homosexuals or aids victims and most self-interest groups. He does strike back at the more militant groups who want more rights than the average citizen. So, he stresses the fact that he is straight and conservative; and he obviously likes Elton John's music. Sort of like a live and let live attitude, isn't it? I am not an avid listener; and I sometimes disagree with him - but not often. I recommend that you and your readers actually listen to his shows with open minds.
