...other day, a friend of mine made a heartfelt confession. I’d known it was coming, and I was prepared to offer support. I swaddled her shoulders in a rainbow blanket, played Elton John softly in the background, and reassured her that no matter what, she would always be the same person. This was only one small facet of her personality, and it wouldn’t change the way we thought about her. If anything, we would love her more for her honesty...

...Fishscale” single “Back Like That,” Ne-Yo was there to help him admonish his unfaithful paramour (while what Ghost had done was undoubtedly whack, playing him was surely no way to get him back). Plus, long before Elton John ever donned his wacky glasses to shill for Hillary, Ne-Yo was playing Obama fundraisers. The politicking made sense, since Ne-Yo always had an interest in pressing the flesh with the proverbial hos—but more importantly, he always had his bros covered. But no longer. Don?...

...iTunes library to all the music that users have bought on iTunes, seemed a little unimaginative. During a Genius demo, Jobs played Elvis Presley's "Heartbreak Hotel"; you might be surprised to learn that if you like "Heartbreak," you might also like Dylan's "Blowin' in the Wind" and Elton John's "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road." Zzzz...
