Sir Elton John tells Radio Times about his decision to perform for a million dollars at the wedding of right-wing goon Rush Limbaugh.
"I was incensed when people said I was throwing away 40 years of credibility for money. No. I don't need it. No-one was more surprised than I when Rush asked. Politically we're opposites. It was an opportunity to break the ice.
"I'm a builder of bridges and knocker-down of walls. I want him on side when I step up to the plate on civil partnerships."
Elton John is 63.
• BBC2 is broadcasting A Night With Elton John on October 30th.

I like the Boy George line about Elton John; "All that money and he's still got hair like a dinnerlady."
