Fashion Rocks, Sir Elton...

Elton John is such a crazy, nutso queen…and I love him so.

He’s performing at the third Fashion Rocks concert in NYC. But, being the crazy, nationalistic bastard that he is, he’d like, according to the AP, for American bands to adopt the cutting-edge, glam-rock style made popular by his peers.

"It's been a thing the British have always been very good at, with Bowie, myself, T.Rex, the Who, Queen. ... We all embraced that side of it," John told Fashion Rocks magazine.

"And I think it's good that some American bands are beginning to do that, but it's still very rare for bands to make a real effort. So when you get groups like The Killers and Scissor Sisters who come along, it's thrilling. I'm so over the tattoos and the T-shirts and rings through the noses. It's not pretty, it's not pleasant, it's not exciting. Please stop it now."

Um, Elton? I’m not really sure you should be dolling out the fashion advice.

Remember these, EJ?
