Kids, trust me when I say there was once a time when rockstars were rules-breaking badasses

All my life I’ve tried to use music to bring people together. Yet it saddens me to see how misinformation is now being used to divide our world. I’ve decided to no longer use Twitter, given their recent change in policy which will allow misinformation to flourish unchecked.

There was once a time when Elton took a blow torch to the rules.

I thought he was all vaxxed up, got the Rona when he went back on tour, and died. Guess it was only 1/3 misinformation.

So true! These rockstars were avatars of the anti-establishment, revolutionary sentiment in the 60's & early 70's. I got over my whiplash a while ago. They were/are frauds, just capitalizing off the spirit of the age.
