Elton John To Perform For Hillary Clinton
 Monday, March 17th, 2008

Hillary Clinton's campaign announced today that Elton John will be performing a fundraising concert for the Clinton campaign on April 9th, entitled, "Elton and Hillary: One Night Only."  I'll avoid the obvious jokes here - I think they are both good people, whether or not I agree with the politics.  The campaign's press release bills it as Elton John's "first solo concert on behalf of Hillary Clinton's campaign," and his "first public solo concert in New York City without his band since his solo concert at Madison Square Garden in October 2000."  It's to be held at Radio City Music Hall in New York.

"I'm not a politician but I believe in the work that Hillary Clinton does," Elton John said in a statement.  "I'm excited to support Hillary by performing at what will be a truly memorable night."

The tickets prices range from $125-250, with the proceeds to go, obviously, to the Hillary Clinton campaign.  Do you think he'll perform "Candle In The Wind," or would that be a prophetic jinx to the campaign?
