WAINAO N°25 - THE ARTIST AND THE SHADOW
WHY NOW? BECAUSE ELTON JOHN AND EMINEM DIDN'T KNOW EACH OTHER AT THAT POINT, AND ELTON PUT HIS CREDIBILITY, THE FIGHT OF HIS LIFE, ON THE LINE ..JUST BASED ON WHAT HE HEARD FROM EMINEM'S ART. it was a great performance and an even greater symbol . Many felt offended and didn't understand that elton could share the scene with someone who was accused at the time of homophobia. But artists have a different level of consciousness.
Elton had seen something in em's music behind explicit lyrics .art has no location, or social class....and they're still friends today.

“ Have you ever admired an artist so much that you see the person he is, in real life, as a simple ghost attached to him? That’s what happens in ART ! The man becomes the shadow .”
