MUSIC NOTES: Elton John Disses Bush

English piano man Elton John didn’t hold back when he revealed how he really felt about presidential candidate George W. Bush at a political fundraiser Tuesday.

The 53-year-old singer was in the California’s Silicon Valley to perform at a $10,000-a-plate dinner when he endorsed Vice President Al Gore while bashing Bush.

“The vice president … wants this country to go forward, and if you vote for him, it will go forward,” John said. “But it’s back to the Dark Ages, I’m afraid, if you vote for the other guy.”

John made his little speech before 320 guests, who included actors Robin Williams, Sharon Stone and high-tech executives.
