In an article in http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2007350453,00.html Elton John is quoted as saying,
"Instead they sit at home and make their own records, which is sometimes OK but it doesn’t bode well for long-term artistic vision."
Gee, that sounds like a rephrase of ,'if they make their _own_ records, they won't be buying -mine-!'
Elton John raised money for AlGore in 2000. How can one simultaneously be socialist and capitalist ?

Of course Elton John is a capitalist and a multimillionaire pop star.
Obviuosly Al Gore is not a socialist nor were his supporters.
Maybe if you ponder this for a while you will begin to figure out that "democrats = socialists" is propaganda for the simple minded.

How on earth did you come with that? He doesn't like the internet and illegal downloading of music, and he's a socialist and a capitalist?
Whoa, great imagination.

Al Gore was not a socialist. Democrats in general are not socialist. Jesus was. Stop using the term as an insult.

Being supportive of a democrat does not equate to being a socialist.
