Walking back home after a free Elton John concert in Central Park.

President Trump plays Elton John music at his rallies... And during his first presidential campaign, he used John's favorite song as his theme song, "You Can't Always Get What You Want," by the Rolling Stones.

Also, John loved musicals, especially "1776," which his mom played for him as a boy. He took his "George" staff to see it when it played on Broadway. President Trump plays "Phantom of the Opera," basically about a masked man who stays behind the scenes. Wonder if that's a John song too... ;)

I was at that concert. It was legendary. Nice to learn that John was there that day with me and 400,000 other fans.
