There are some musicians where I really wonder "so just who is their demographic?"
Elton John for instance.
Super big star.
But just who are his fans :hmm:

The answer is "people older than you".

I know many people older than me but never ran into a fan of his.
He has an unusual place in music. Doesn't really fit into a standard genre

According to wiki:

QuoteGenres   
Rock piano rock pop rock glam rock soft rock rhythm and blues

Sounds about right.  And those are some pretty specific genres - I would have just said "pop".

Just came out of Springsteen's concert in Barcelona. He finished the set with a Purple Rain cover. I love this guy.

Also you'll never see so many US flags anywhere in Spain as when he plays here.

Raz Pro Tip:  If you pick up Powerball tickets off the ground like that, they are almost never winners.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

my reasoning re: palestine vs. israel -- why would anyone truly want just another middle eastern country vs. a modern, western nation?
