Can a straight guy like/love Elton John? - GoFuckYourself.com

Sly · 11-19-2005, 01:56 PM

I was asking my mom what to get my brother for Christmas and she said he loves Elton John. And after thinking about it, I remember him getting all excited once when I was talking about Eminem and Elton playing that song together.

I don't know, I just don't know any guys that like Elton John. Ok, I like a few of his songs, but I wouldn't buy any of his CDs and I certainly don't "love" him, but now I'm really curious.

Do any of you guys like Elton John?

Morgan · 11-19-2005, 01:58 PM

nope, only gay dudes forsure

Elton John is a terrific songwriter, i do like him, but asside from his greatest hits and some old albums i wouldnt buy anything of his.

I dont think it makes you a fag to like him though.

Dirty F · 11-19-2005, 02:00 PM

I love Tiny Dancer and thats about it.

Mike Okitch · 11-19-2005, 02:07 PM

So because he's openly gay, one would be gay by association because he likes his music?

What about someone who likes an artist who's in the closet? Does that mean that person is also a closet case?

sonofsam · 11-19-2005, 02:08 PM

i'm sorry i have to do do this sly, but i'm afraid your brother may be a

No, that isn't it at all. Do you like Elton John? Do you have any straight guy friends that love him? I don't, I don't know any. I don't know any that like Cher either.

You can call me a pig if you want and I'm sure some gay guy will come in here kicking and screaming, I don't care. It doesn't change the fact that most guys are not into the more emotional style/type of music that Elton creates.

I would call him a musician for women long before a musician for gay men. But since my brother isn't a woman, I'm simply curious about the possibility.

romeoboi · 11-19-2005, 02:14 PM

I know straight guys that like Elton John

why is everyone on GFY obsessed with calling people fags all the time - its pretty lame

dig420 · 11-19-2005, 02:15 PM

when he was with Bernie Taupin he was fantastic.

fallenmuffin · 11-19-2005, 02:16 PM

Lol, you guys think way too deeply about basic shit. Buy your brother the fuckin' album and let him dance around in his hotpants until he is blue in the face. Yes, Bon Jovi concerts and Elton John CD's make you gay...

Personally, Elton John isn't my cup of tea. But I do know of straight men that like his music.

Like this?

A couple of the sounds that I really like
Are the sounds of a switchblade and a motorbike
I'm a juvenile product of the working class
Whose best friend floats in the bottom of a glass

and my personal favourite, Levon:

Levon wears his war wound like a crown
He calls his child Jesus cause he likes the name
And he sends him to the finest school in town

Levon, Levon likes his money
He makes a lot they say
Spend his days counting
In a garage by the motorway

He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas day
When the New York Times said God is dead
And the war's begun
Alvin Tostig has a son today

And he shall be Levon
And he shall be a good man...

I'm no fan of his newer, corporate fluff, but a huge selection of his older work is fucking draw-droppingly brilliant. I remember seeing him in his prime, and there is no new artist that even comes close to the talent that man has.

And he still has one of the greatest voices in rock when he turns it on.

escorpio · 11-19-2005, 03:36 PM

It's o.k. to like early Elton but liking anything that came after the Goodbye Yellow Brick Road album will set off many gaydars.

SilentKnight · 11-19-2005, 04:06 PM

Saturday Night's Alright For Fightin' & Funeral For a Friend - his old stuff rocked.

Anyone who says different is either naive, wasn't born yet, or still swimming in denial.

Elton & Bernie's partnership is music legend.

spacedog · 11-19-2005, 04:18 PM

Nothing wrong with Elton John. His is a great songwriter & has good music back in the old days

InGayPorn · 11-19-2005, 05:00 PM

Just cuz your bro loves EJ doesn't mean he's gay...he could just be experimenting. It's best to just let him explore his sexuality. Clinical research has shown that until a young man buys more than six albums its just normal sexual adolescent curiosity. Of course, all bets are off it he gets into Queen.

Mutt · 11-19-2005, 06:34 PM

there was a time when Elton John was considered cool, same thing with Billy Joel. superstardom and top 40 hits change artists and definitely change how many people view them.

but yeah - your little brother most likely is a fruit. ain't nothing wrong with that.

One of the most brilliant and talented artists of our time. But what would he say in this thread?

Taste in music has nothing to do with sexuality. Its just taste in music...nothing to read into beyond that.

nebula · 11-19-2005, 06:45 PM

Sorry, a straight guy can like/love William Shatner covering 'Rocket man' but that's a close as is allowed.
