First I want to say a big Congratulations! to Elton John and his partner for making the life changing choice to have a child. Now, being that there story is not the typical, as they are two men, as I write this, I draw a (hum) sense in the back of mind. My recesses have alerted me to my outer sense of diversion, amongst the things I think privately about being gay, versus what I will share outwardly about being gay. But, in this instance all is safe, I have loved Elton John's music prouably ever since "Crocodile Rock", he has always put on a stupendous show, was never brash or nasty, and always seemed to reserve any ostachious behavior for being out of ear shot of cameras and was able to respect his fame.

        What does that last sentence indicate? Well, if you are lucky enough to be famous, you must be able to put up with what comes along with the territory. As we have seen by certain other celebrities that can't but help blemish their sense of trustworthyness to the press. True the press can be an all omnipotent prescence in the presence of which it chooses to become impressed by, but at the same time highly intrusive as well. The balance can be accomplished, as seen by those that play up to the sense being able to actually enjoy the spot light, for some actresses and actors fame happens for them, people readily whip out their cameras and are waiting eagerly for the next interview.

       For others fame is not always an easy ticket to ride, it takes timing and a strong sense of failure, a sense of ambivalance about what is actually being targeted about the individual. Like for instance Angleina Jolie and Brad Pitt, despite the fact that they are still not married, they have adopted many wonderful children this allready shows they are content people. As the way of virtue they have adopted the same values and have highly professional careers that span years for years of movie making success and continue to be worthy advocates for human interests groups. People are always taking notes of what is happening in the lives of movie stars, being that the perception of having it all is really what it's all about.

       Wrong, the life of an actor or actress is highly complicated and abstract as well. Many movie stars have been burnt by their own fame, or might I even prefert to say flame. Many have shown fear, dis-contempt, jealousy, and have poor regard for thier own self or personal image. This is not part of acting, nor is part of gaining personal experience for a major role, it is contempteous behavior that draws inference between the persons own personal struggles and the integrity to share his or hers talents with you and I the audience. It takes strength and understanding to understand many applications that phase a society, versus the rights or wrongs, and question mark of what makes a society in the first place.

       In experiencing a story, versus acting a story, a writer has to have regard for her or his subjects, in this case I will speak from the heart, I thought it to be a highly rewarding moment in the life of Elton John and his partner to have had a surrogate have a baby for them. In the sense that they are profoundly wealthy individiuals, and it is not a from the point of view of speaking about the money involved to perform this particular feat, for choice of a better word. But the sincere want for the child in my eyes is the caveat, it with such an integral and important choice that these two men determined this was real, this was, "what we both wanted". Towards the end of the interview, Barbra Walters showed a clip of Elton John, holding  another baby a while back, it was world news that he had wanted to adopt the child, but due to restrictions on age they felt it wasn't a good choice.

       But Elton John himself had stated, "that ever since that day, he knew his life wouldn't be complete with out a child of his own". I give him much credit and kudos for this tremendous relization. With out children, who would we pass on our knowledge, our traits, our history, and our tales and woes. Despite many other pathos, and pscychology it is with out stating that many may have different points of views, but truly a child is a blessing from God, meant to have two parents that will do exactly what Elton John and his partner wish to do, enjoy, spoil and love thier baby; for this I whole heartedly wish them and their new baby boy all the best. Great interview as always Barbra Walters.
