As Elton John, my days on pop radio are over, and I know that and I accept it and I'm not unhappy about it.
The days of humiliation, of second-class citizens and of inequality are over and gone forever.
I'm not the kind of writer who's able to block out the world around me. I'm mindful of our own haves and have-nots, how our culture often blames and punishes the have-nots. I worry about our precarious economic and political climate.
