Oh so true...
I wish I could see the *middle class rich* in my checkbook...sure
doesn't seem that way to me! You are right to say that Elton is a
good guy. He does do some good things with his money, but it doesn't
change how I feel about him in politics and walking in middle class
shoes. Going to see him for many of us is becoming a real luxury in
the first place.
