Ive got a few Elton albums, some are great, some are not so great (hows that for pc). But i will agre with most on here. He is a loud mouthed little has been. I think he likes to make stupid comments just so that people remember he is still alive. Hes probably got a new album coming out or is about to go on tour so needs to remind everyone that the old fossil is still alive and kicking.
As for the music sharing. Im guilty. Always have been.
Before the internet i would borrow other peoples records, cassettes/CDS and tape them.
