A
s The Next Best Thing II series continues, the early music of Elton John will be celebrated by performer Kenny Metcalf. The show is perfectly timed, given the recent release (and ensuing Elton-mania) of the movie “Rocketman,” chronicling the cultural influence of this mega-star. British singer, songwriter, pianist and composer Sir Elton John has received five Grammy Awards, five Brit Awards, an Academy Award, a Golden Globe Award, a Tony Award, a Disney Legends award and the Kennedy Center Honor. In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked him 49th on its list of 100 influential rock and roll musicians. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994 and is a fellow of the British Academy of Songwriters, Com-
posers and Authors. He has also been a high visibility activist in the fight against AIDS. Audiences can expect to rock out to hits like “Daniel,” “Bennie and the Jets,” “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road,” “Candle in the Wind,” “Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting,” “Harmony” and a virtual studio full of others. This rousing tribute show is definitely a chance to pay homage to one of the most significant musical icons of our time. A Tribute to Elton John: Elton the Early Year starts at 8 p.m. on Friday, August 16. Spotlight 29 Casino is located at 46200 Harrison Place. Tickets are $10; booths are $150 - includes six seats and a bucket of beer. Must be 21 and over. No refunds/no exchanges. For more information, call 760-775-5566 or visit www.spotlight29.com
Believe It or Not Bad enough if you have to go to the dentist to have a tooth pulled but imagine having to undergo several hundred extractions in one sitting. The Association of Mature American Citizens [AMAC] reports that dental surgeons in India recently removed a total of 526 teeth from the mouth of a 7-year-old boy. Actually, the mass
of tiny teeth was contained in what the surgeons called a “compound odontome,” a benign tumor that had been growing in the child’s mouth for several years. The Association of Mature American Citizens provides the Filler Files as a service on issues of concern to Americans over 50.
