In Topics: Genderbenders Music President DeSantis
It's the hurricanes that regularly slam into the State that worry Floridians. A 3/4-century-old bitchy homosexual is not so much of a big worry. It's not like it's a half-century ago, just before Reg Dwight's, aka, Elton John's, official gayness, as he wrote and sang some of the best pop and rock* in history for half a decade. (It'd put the period from his Madman Across the Water album in 1971 to Rock of the Westies in '75.) He was a force of nature then.
Mr. John and his "husband" have a problem with Governor DeSantis' and the Legislature of Florida's having gotten laws passed to fight the BLT-G++ Genderbender anti-family stupidity. I can't find decent articles to link you to, but the story includes a bit about the John's (?) not wanting to "do" residency in the US again. Hopefully, they can find other places in which to avoid onerous taxes placed on them by Socialist countries.
Are the good people of Florida or the United States supposed to be all butthurt (oops!) about this news? Who cares? Elton should just take my advice, take the next flight, and grow some funk of his own. (That was so macho ...)
The same '75 album, Rock of the Westies also had a great song called Island Girl. To paraphrase a lyric line, "Elton John, Elton John, Elton Jo-oh-on, tell me whatchu wantin' with the straight man's world."
I try not to feature the same song twice on Peak Stupidity, something I did accidentally did until this edit, so per SafeNow memories, here is a duet from near the end of EJ's best period, 1976. As "Elton John" was an alias or stage name, so was "Kiki Dee", aka, Pauline Matthews. Kiki Dee was also there doing backing vocals on Island Girl.
I really like another duet Elton John did. It was ostensibly a Neil Sedaka song, but Elton's singing was a big part of the song Bad Blood, from '75.
Thanks for reading the blog, Peakers, and even more for writing in! We'll be back next week with more of the stupidity you crave. Also, thanks for the music suggestion, SafeNow. I would have bet real money I'd put that one up already, but I checked the dBase. Nope.
* His band could really rock - see Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding, well hear it some time ... LOUD!

[UPDATED 06/25] Changed out music, Don't Go Breaking my Heart for Island Girl, since the latter was already featured on the blog.

I'm not really sure what Reginald Kenneth Dwight is upset about?
A Florida law that would prevent venues from admitting children to "any show, exhibition, or other presentation that is performed in front of a live audience and in whole or in part, depicts or simulates nudity, sexual conduct, sexual excitement, specific sexual activities, ... lewd conduct, or the lewd exposure of prosthetic or imitation genitals or breasts" has been blocked by US District Judge Gregory Presnell because it would "suppress the speech of drag queen performers".

Meanwhile, US District Judge Robert Hinkle has blocked Florida’s ban on Medicaid coverage for puberty blockers, hormone therapies, and genital mutilation for the "transgenders".

Seems he has nothing to bitch about...

PS: FIFY, SafeNow. However, I am not sure of the genres you refer to. Is the EJ/KJ duet Pretend-you're-not-gay Pop? "Sylvia's Mother" would come under the genre of "Just-kill-yourself-now" ballads. It's a decent tune, but the lyrics but more so, the sound, are pretty depressing.
What would you name them - those genres?

PS: Thanks for the report on the German media and the FAZ, Dieter. This shows another thing, IMO. It's not just DeSantis' actions in Florida, but perhaps these people are taking his Presidential candidacy seriously. They want to get in some licks early on.
Alarmist, I didn't know he lived in Buckhead. (For the rest, that's a suburb of Atlanta, though really a city in of itself*, that Atlanta won't let go of. Buckhead wants to escape the vibrancy of Atlanta. Elton John, well, he probably has a dozen bodyguards, so he's fine with vibrancy, in theory ...)
* It's got a bunch of tall buildings.

Ah, Kiki Dee, with that pink apron-dress, with the pocket on front, which Elton carefully kissed. Dad would have loved her if somehow I had managed to bring her home; Mom, not so much. I don’t know if this was Elton’s best work or not, but in this video, he invented a genre consisting of one. Like “Sylvia’s Mother.” This might be something for me to think about here in my man cave - - popular music songs that created a genre of one.

Meh, he can stay in Buckhead.
Fun fact: Elton John performed at Rush Limbaugh's last wedding.

You're either for - or against us. And he who is against us - must be fought. Just like Hitler. - We all know Hitler! - - So - this is what Steve Sailer 'd call a highly tribal thing.
Btw. - - the same with Vladimer Putin... The gay oppressor Putin is now fighting the Free West - - - and the Free West responded in the last three days to the Wagner-story with high hopes for the long awaited/"prepared" implosion of Putins rotten at the core oppression-system (= anti gay!!) Russia.
Btw. - - Tribalism can quite easily be a form of - - stupidity. The now green-liberal and once conservative-chtristian - most influential Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung FAZ is fighting Ron DeSantis on this basis in regular articles by all of its women- US-correspondents).
Some examples (there are dozens and dozens!) - this is a link?!

Pro woke and anti-Desantis (let alone Trump!!) is also correspondent Nina Rehfeld. I'd say most - if not all - women in the FAZ are against Ron DeSantis for Pro Queer-reasons - - this is clearly longhouse stuff. The bright and good informed Majid Sattar is rather pro Mike Pence - - .
