Biden presents Elton John with National Humanities Medal

For his music, his work against HIV/AIDS, and his efforts to fight discrimination. Elton was brought to tears.

Thanks for the post. The award is well deserved. EJ keeps going on, thank goodness.

I’m seeing him in concert two weeks from today! Last time I saw him live was more than 25 years ago.

Dare I say…he’s still standing?

I’m jealous. I saw him 35 years ago in Oakland, California. It was the best rock concert in my life… so far.

I saw him in Saskatoon around 2000. Just him and a huge grand piano, no backup.

Best concert ever.

(I’ve also seen the Stones, and they were the best show. Different things.)

Yeah, yeah, yeah!
