The Rain In Spain

I feel just like the snooty professor in that old musical who transforms an ordinary working person into a Proper English Lady, except I transformed my mother from an ordinary retired person into a Proper Blogger. By George, (Or was it By Jove?) I think she's got it. Two posts in one day! Way to go Mom! I thought I would be nice and find out what Elton John has against Madonna. It was a simple Google search. Here's what Reuters has to say about it.

LONDON (Reuters) - Pop veteran Elton John has taken a foul-mouthed swipe at Madonna, saying she cheats her fans by miming on stage.

But the American pop superstar was swift to rubbish his accusation, saying she does not lip-synch or criticise other artists.

While collecting a song-writing award from Q music magazine in London Monday, John suddenly launched into a tirade against Madonna when he discovered she had been nominated for Best Live Act.

"Anyone who lip-synchs in public on stage when you pay 75 pounds to see them should be shot," John said in reference to ticket prices for Madonna's Reinvention tour.

"Madonna, best f***ing life act? F*** off," said the singer renowned as much for his outrageous outbursts as he is for his outlandish outfits.

"Since when has lip-synching be live?" he asked.

He ended his outburst by saying "That's me off her f***ing Christmas card list but do I give a toss? No."

You heard it first on the Daily Cud. Unless you already heard about it somewhere else.
