If you are not sure who Elton’s Johnson is…um…I mean Elton John, he is that guy who is Godfather to a few famous kids, like the Beckhams or something. His little fits aside(Where he screams at people like Madonna), he seems to be a pretty decent performer and often let’s people stay at his pad. I think Liz Hurley stayed there when her kid was born, but I have not chatted to Liz in a while, so I can’t confirm that.
The Johnmeister will be playing at the Newlands Stadium(Sahara Park Newlands if the advertisers insist) on Sunday 13th of January 2008. That’s right, it’s this Sunday!
Due to the people who live nearby, I offer you this bit of insight. I remember last time there was a concert of sorts at Newlands, all the usual suspects complained. The people who have no lives and have nothing better to do than to write “strongly worded” letters to The Tatler in between cucumber sandwiches, tea, and games of lazy tennis at Kelvin Grove. So be warned, Elton John is going to be rocking out, and there is nothing you can do about it.
Campground Road will be closed between Mariendahl and Palmyra Roads from 15:00 on the 13th of January 2008. The road will re-open at 23:00, so don’t stress. Elton John will be performing his hits between 20:00 and 22:30 on Sunday the 13th of January 2008.
If there is something really bothering you, and you want to make a scene, which you should not, you can contact John Langford at BIG Concerts at 0825613541.
I trust that it will be unnecessary to call him. If you are young and living near Newlands, you won’t even have to go to Newlands to impress your other half! Although he/she will think you are cheap if they realise you are sitting in the garden listening to Elton John, instead of spending money on a ticket.
Just say “Oh babe I never even knew he was playing! I have been dragging bags of rice up a hill to feed the starving kids for the past few weeks, I’m so out of touch with Cape Town”
If he/ she replies, “But I have seen you every day” you just say “Yeah, and what do you think I’m doing when I’m not with you?”
Problem solved.
You can chill in your garden while Elton John belts out Candle In The Wind.
You can pour another glass of red as the newborn kittens play in the grass. You can toast to a life of excess. You can get tipsy. You can get frisky. You can thank Elton John for coming right that night. You can nibble her ear. She can stroke your six pack.
Thank you Elton John. Sweet dreams…
