WhoLetTheBlogOut.com is reporting on the real story behind Elton John’s Internet views.
In a story from the British tabloid newspaper “The Sun,” music legend Sir Elton John has posted comments online that call for the internet to be closed down.
He apparently laments the way that websites that promote the emerging industry of digital music has created a cold and impersonal world for artists to create new music in and takes time away from surfing gay porn.
He says that it is “destroying gay porn, and that “The music websites have stopped people from just sitting at home surfing gay porn.”
Instead they sit at home and surf for music downloads, which is sometimes OK but it doesn’t bode well for gay porn in the long-term.
“We’re talking about things that are going to change the world and change the way people surf the web and that’s not going to happen with people just surfing for music on the internet.”
WhoLetTheBlogOut.com searched to find the original excerpts from his official website to no avail, and posting in his forums requires a $40 fan membership, but irregardless many gay porn enthusiasts think Sir Elton John has a good point.
One journalist says “I remember when gay porn was first available on the web and everybody lamented about how great it was in comparison to magazines x-rated theatres. Digital music has not only taken attention away form gay porn in my opinion, but has changed the way in which gay porn enthusiasts interact with the public and one another.”
“Sure, with the Internet, they now have unprecedented access to gay porn sites, but at the same time it has removed the personal and physical level which gay porn enthusiasts previously had to have when interacting with gay porn stars and their fans.”
He goes on to say, “It may not be that bad for gay porn in the long run, for it seems that all of society is going the way of impersonal communication with the rising use of IMs, e-mail, text -messaging, cell-phones, etc., to interact with one another, but it does point to an ominous turn on a societal level in that the human touch is slowly eluding us.”
“Now I don’t think Elton John really meant to suggest that music websites be closed down, though I do think he longs for a more simpler time, when a majority of gay porn enthisiasts collaborated IN PERSON in orgies and bath houses to explore new things.”
He also says “Though to be honest, there are still plenty of gay porn enthisiasts who don’t use the internet for digital music downloads. Artists like Jack Johnson, Jack White, Mason Jennings, The Roots, and Slightly Stoopid, all still use living, breathing people and regularly team up with other gay porn enthisiasts to have a good time.”
“The good old days aren’t over Sir John, they’ve just changed a bit.”
