[Fwd: EJ's "tribute" to Princess Di]

[tarasam@wolfenet.com]

Apparently here in the U.S. release of the song coincides with the
release date of Elton's new album...talk about opportunistic.  Not to
mention "Candle"  is track two!  The first being the new single his U.S.
label is working...

"Candle in the Wind" was a tribute to Marilyn and no one had any right
to change this, even EJ himself. I am very surprised and shocked nobody
seems to figure it out.
