Elton John: Vanity Fair

The Italian edition of Vanity Fair has named Pope Francis as its Man of the Year with the backing of singer Sir Elton John.
The magazine features Pope Francis on the cover of its new issue and says that Francis has done enough in his first 100 days as Pope to be put at the top of the list of world leaders who make history.
In an accompanying tribute, Sir Elton writes: “Francis is a miracle of humility in an era of vanity.”

Wonderful!
If anyone embodies the noble human battle betwixt humility and vanity it has to be Sir Elton Of John.
Fagburn has no way of verifying Sir Elton actually said this, by the way.
Well, I could phone his press office, but why spoil the magic?
