Don't Shoot Me I'm Only the Piano Player
"Anyone who lip-synchs ... should be shot."
- Elton John, 2004 Q Awards
"All photographers ... should be shot."
- Elton John, 2006 Cannes Film Festival
Who will Elton John want shot next? Nelly Furtado? Puppies?
Let's try to remember happier times, when Elton wrote classic hits while high as a kite. Here's a Stereogum fave:
Elton John - "Come Down In Time" (MP3 Link Expired)
Incidentally, one of the best concerts I ever saw was a taping of CMT Crossroads: Elton John & Ryan Adams that never aired because Ryan Adams didn't show up! Pro that he is, Elton played solo and blew everyone away in the intimate setting.
He sure is a cranky old bitch, though. Maybe he's pissed Mick Jagger can have a TV show in America and Elton can't.

Yeah, I was about to say...I did see the Elton John/Ryan Adams Crossroads (at least most of it) and it was fantastic.
And personally, I'm a fan of Elton's bitch fits.

Well, if you have that much wealth and fame for that amount of time in your career, AND you're a 'sir', you can pretty much do or say whatever you want.
Or, y'know, shoot whoever you want.

I read that linked article on Sir Elton playing for a crowd after Adams dropped out.
I like that once you're a rock star you get positively praised for NOT being an ass. Granted it's a CMT self-puff piece, but still.
Oh really, he didn't back out after committing to do a show and instead played for the big crowd that showed up to see him? How touching. Let's nominate him for friggin sainthood.
