Hillary will never be President. However, she is an amazing woman. She
was
amazing in Bosnia, where she escaped a hail of bullets. She was
incredible
in Whitewater, stupendous in Travelgate, and even more amazing in when her
health care proposal failed the first time.
There is a great movie about her life. If you are interested in two

> April 9th, 2008...What an incredible night! I had the privilege of

> Elton's benefit concert for Hillary Clinton at Radio City Music Hall in
> New
> York City.. The night started with Hillary's campaign manager giving a
> rousing speach that really got the sold out crowd going. I expected
> Hillary

> Family"! Out walked Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton! What a thrill to

> President of the United States! Both Bill and Hillary gave short
speaches.
> I

his

> Then the incredible moment came when Hillary introduced Sir Elton
John!!!
> All 6000 (give or take) of us were on our feet screaming. Elton hugged
the

> even
> more intricate design of a rocket with much decoration around it, also
in
> beautiful bright colors. This red tinted glasses with "EJ" in
diamond-like
> cristals on them completed his outfit.
> I was wearing David's Versace pants and beautiful Versace suede coat and
> the
> EJAF Rocket Man tie! The pants and tie I bought at "Out Of The Closet 4"

> London, 2002.
> For those of you who have never been to Radio City Music Hall, let me
tell
> you that it is not only a beautiful art deco theater, but it was built
to
> be
> acoustically as perfect as possible at the time. The only theaters I've
> been
> to with better accoustics are Carnegie Hall and the Metropolitan Opera
> House
> in New York, and the Sidney Opera House in Sydney, Australia. So not
only
> was Elton in great voice, but the sound was phenominal!
> This was a solo show. A shorter version of his usual solo shows, but
> incredible from beginning to end. His voice was as stong as ever, and
his
> piano technique was, as always, flawless. He started the show with "Your
> Song", followed by "Border Song". He went on to play hits and non-hits
> (but
> great songs, such as Ticking, Ballad of the Boy in the Red Shoes,
> Carla/Etude into Tonight). During Levon, he got the lyrics just slightly
> wrong ...instead of singing "Levon, Levon likes his money"... he sang,
> "Jesus, Jesus likes his money"! I don't know if the Hillary sup****ters
who
> are not diehard Elton fans even noticed, but it was pretty funny. A very
> sight mistake on the piano Carla. Highly unusual for Elton. During
> Crocodile
> Rock, he sang "I remember when rock was young, Me and Hillary had so
much
> fun"! By this time (toward the end of the show) the crowd was on its
feet
> and going wild!
> His last number, dedicated to Hillary, was I'm Still Standing, and we
all
> were! It was quite a finish to an amazing show.
> The Clinton's took the stage again, and Hillary said what we were all
> feeling..."WOW!!!" She thanked Elton again for sharing his enormous
talent
> and for helping her raise $2.3 MILLION dollars in one night! She shook
> hands
> with about half of the first row, and then left the stage.
> I have seen Elton somewhere between 50 and 60 times live in concert, but
> this was one concert that I will never forget. A thrilling night, and a
> piece of history.
> Radio City has a very cool website. Go to:
> http://www.radiocity.com/seating/index.html
click on "Lower Mezzanine"
and

> left or right.
> The ticket prices ranged from $125 (what I paid) to $2300! As Hillary
put
> it, "It sold out in a nanosecond"!
> While I realize that everybody has their own political point of view,
and
> will vote as they choose, I'd just like to add that especially after
> seeing
> Hillary in person, and seeing Elton's sup****t for her, I believe that
she

president

live

> VOTE!!!
> Tell your friends to vote. Drive neighbors to the polls. Encourage
> everyone
> you know to vote. And hopefully for Hillary Clinton. She's an amazing
> woman.
> Elton's sup****t is just one more reason to vote for her.
> The political arguements here are, of course, my own opinion. I'm not
> trying

> that I couldn't help sharing my feelings about the entire night.
> Oh, and Elton really seems to like the name, "One Night Only". That was
> the

> Hits
> Live was also called "One Night Only", it was actually recorded during 2
> back to back concerts at Madison Square Garden in NY! Most of the
footage

> I've seen Elton somewhere between 50 and 60 times in concert (I've lost
