While I've always liked a lot of Elton's songs, I've never been a big fan of him personally. I suppose his recent foray into controversy doesn't really help. Recently, John stated his opinion that Jesus Christ way gay http://bit.ly/bYQTZD (warning - The Sun posts some objectionable content).
While John knows a lot about music, his comment shows that he knows very little about Jesus and His Father, whom Jesus came to make known. While I used to really get angry about such comments from public figures, I'm starting to view them with sympathy. We should pity their blindness. On a lighter note, I think the third verse of Tim Hawkin's parody of Imagine speaks well to the situation http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_pzd_w1sS4
