Sir Elton John Goes To Washington

British pop icon & fierce AIDS activist Sir Elton John testified before the Senate Appropriations Committee & discussed his AIDS foundation’s efforts while advocating that Congress continues funding towards combating AIDS until the disease is completely wiped out. Elton stated, “Today, I had the great honor of meeting with President Obama along with my husband & the Chairman of the Elton John AIDS Foundation, David Furnish. And I had the honor of testifying before the Senate Appropriations Committee to urge Congress to continue critical funding for PEPFAR, the President's Plan for Emergency AIDS Relief.” John testified stating, ““The AIDS epidemic is not over & America’s continued leadership is critical. There is a window of opportunity before us, a window through which we can very clearly see the end of AIDS within my lifetime. We cannot afford to let the window close if our efforts flag. Drug resistance will surface, transmission rates will rise & this disease which knows no boundaries will once again become a ruthless pandemic with disastrous & far-reaching consequences. This is the most powerful legislative body in the world & this Congress indeed has the power to end Aids.” Last April we talked to Scott Campbell, Executive Director of the Elton John AIDS Foundation in this exclusive audio interview:

See Jane Lynch Sing Live

Emmy & Golden Globe Award winner Jane Lynch will be appearing at the Palace of Fine Arts for her San Francisco solo concert debut of “Jane Lynch: See Jane Sing” on Saturday May 9th at 7:30P. Fresh from her iconic portrayal of Sue Sylvester on “Glee” & her Broadway debut as Miss Hannigan in Annie, Jane will bring her comic skills & musical prowess to the theatre stage. The show will be cabaret in style featuring her singing abilities & comedic flare that were on display in "Glee," without the villainy of her character. Audiences should prepare for a sidesplitting evening of musical comedy with more than a dash of wit as Jane explores her love of the beauty & absurdity of the American standard & show tunes. Openly gay Lynch has never steered away from who she is stating, “I know it sounds new age-y, but what I've truly come up with is that you really need to trust that you're on your own path, as long as you stay true to it & you show up, which is 99% of it.” This performance is recommended for adults since some references may not be suitable or understood by children & no children under 5 are allowed. The Palace of Fine Arts Theatre is located at 3301 Lyon Street in San Francisco.
