Elton John hasn’t re-written his song ‘Levon’ to be an ode to the goodness of Donald Trump. You know, if you were wondering. You might have been, if you’re hard of hearing and were watching the recent livestream, on Disney+ earlier this week, of the final show on the US leg of John’s farewell tour at Dodgers Stadium in LA.Trump’s name appeared in the subtitles for the show at least twice during the live broadcast.
The lyrics of Levon were shown to be “He shall be Levon / Donald Trump”, rather than “He shall be Levon / And he shall be a good man”. Later, viewers reported that Trump’s name was shown on screen for around a minute before being removed.There was speculation – including from TMZ – that this was some sort of hack. Bit of a weird hack, sure.
Why would someone want to go to the trouble of hacking into the subtitles of a show just to flash Donald Trump’s name up on screen without context? I mean, once you’re in there, you could put up any political message you wanted. This seems like a waste of effort.People always assume things are some sort of clever hack though, don’t they? If it happens online and it wasn’t what you expected, it must be a hack. No one ever thinks, “That was weird, I imagine it was some sort of easily explainable human error”.

Manager David Furnish recently confirmed that John plans to continue performing at ad hoc shows or short residences once the Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour is finally over.“It’s really important to make a distinction between Elton retiring from touring but Elton not playing his very last public performance for the very last time”, Furnish told Billboard as the final US date on the Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour took place.“Will Elton return as a live performer? I hope so”, he went on.

Akon recently claimed that Kanye West’s spate of antisemitic comments over the last few months are all an attempt to draw votes away from Donald Trump in the next US presidential election. But what if it was actually an attempt to appeal to Trump himself? West says that, at a meeting with the former President yesterday, he asked Trump to be his running mate in 2024.West tweeted that he had met Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, adding that he’d turned up late and inappropriately dressed. Still, this seemingly didn’t put him off making his big proposal.“First time at Mar-a-Lago”, he wrote.

Donald Trump made several bizarre proposals during his speech announcing that he will run for president in 2024 - including a space mission. The former President claimed that the US would "plant our beautiful American flag very soon" on Mars and that a defence shield would be built "to protect our people from the unthinkable threat of nuclear weapons".
Akon reckons that Kanye West’s recent spate of offensive remarks and stunts – which have drawn much criticism, of course, and seen him banned from both Twitter and Instagram, and also lose numerous business deals – are all part of a bid to become the next President of the United States.Even stranger, Akon presents this like it’s some kind of good and clever thing. West – he has decided – is not only planning to run for the US presidency again in 2024, but has recognised that if he’s going to be successful he needs to draw votes away from Donald Trump.
Yes, it finally happened. On a not-so-super Tuesday in November, Donald Trump announced he’s yet again running for President. The guy who refused to agree to a peaceful transfer of power after losing in 2020 and then took a bunch of highly classified documents with him on the way out — and is quite probably facing a future indictment over it. Sigh.
