Do you believe Elton's temper tantrums are just an excuse for uncontrolled anger or is it really about being creative?

What in the world is Elton John doing with pictures of naked little girls on his possession?

LONDON - Elton John said Wednesday that he owns a photo of two naked girls taken by award-winning photographer Nan Goldin that was seized by police at a British gallery over concerns it amounted to child pornography. John confirmed ownership of "Klara and Edda Belly-Dancing" in a statement on his Web site. He said it is among 149 images comprising Goldin's "Thanksgiving" installation. Northumbria police said the photo was taken from the BALTIC Center for Contemporary Art in Gateshead, northeastern England. They confirmed Tuesday that an image had been taken from an exhibit "to assess whether or not an offense had been committed." Both Goldin and the gallery have declined to comment. The gallery alerted police to Goldin's photo on the eve of an exhibition featuring her work that opened Friday. "The photograph exists as part of the installation as a whole and has been widely published and exhibited throughout the world," the 60-year-old rocker said. "It can be found in the monograph of Ms. Goldin's works entitled `The Devil's Playground' (Phaidon, 2003), has been offered for sale at Sotheby's New York in 2002 and 2004, and has previously been exhibited in Houston, London, Madrid, New York, Portugal, Warsaw and Zurich without any objections of which we are aware." John purchased the "Thanksgiving" installation in 1999, his statement said. Goldin's frank and often sexually explicit work has drawn critical acclaim, as well as police attention. |
Well I hope they ban the art as if it is that close then it probably is pornographic. To many are hiding behind the word art and need to be shaken down. A picture of a nude girl underage is not art period. As far as Elton John having it well he is gay so obvious he has little regard for proper sexual conduct and his moral code is definitely lower than it should be and likely thinks it is legitimate art.
After all moral conduct are based on ones personal beliefs and standards.
