There is nothing like a Dame!

"There is nothing wrong with going to bed with someone of your own sex. People should be very free with sex, they should draw the line at goats."

"Music has healing power. It has the ability to take people out of themselves for a few hours."

"The great thing about rock and roll is that someone like me can be a star."

"I think performers are all show-offs anyway, especially musicians. Unless you show off, you're not going to get noticed... I could never go onstage in denims."

"I am the most well-known homosexual in the world."

“Live for each second without hesitation”

One of the biggest-selling artists in the world, ever, Dame Elton Hercules John is seventy years old today!

All hail.

There is really only one song that is appropriate for this milestone occasion, I suppose...

Elton John - I'm Still Standing

You know I'm still standing better than I ever did
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
I'm still standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind

I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah

Many happy returns, dear Queen...
