So Sneak learned last week that Sir Elton of John hates the internet. See below.

In a column in the Sun, a far superior medium, he said, "The internet has stopped people from going out and being with each other, creating stuff. Instead they sit at home and make their own records, which is sometimes OK but it doesn’t bode well for long-term artistic vision. It’s just a means to an end."

It would be hard to imagine that any up-and-coming artist would have a problem with any media being a "means to an end" especially if the end result is the result that they are looking for. So it is even harder to work out precisely what Elton's problem is.

Sir Elt does suggest one benefit from turning the internet off, "I do think it would be an incredible experiment to shut down the whole internet for five years and see what sort of art is produced over that span." Er… yeah.. What a wonderful idea. Let's er. Do that.

Sneak notices that Elton's own website eltonjohn.com, online store, and a load of other rubbish sites connected with the toupeed trouper are all still live. So come on Rocket Man, get on with it and lead by example. Surely we could stand to lose a couple of them.

While the internet exists you might enjoy seeing some of Elton's finest work. And no, Sneak doesn’t mean any of his music, videos, haircuts, or the t shirts available through his web store.
