Elton John will be making an arctic appearance

Just when I thought Michael Franti and Matchbox 20 (yep, they're still together) were the biggest bands to visit the frozen tundra, we get the news that Elton John is coming.

He doesn't play anything resembling reggae, but I'm still going to convince Andrew to check it out with me. Hopefully we can get some inexpensive tickets ... probably not, but it's worth a shot.

I hope to be belting it out to "Rocket Man" on May 28, along with lots of crazy Alaskans. "I think it's going to be a long, long time..."
