Elton John is not only "still standing," he is a living superlative, the ultimate record-breaking, award-winning survivor of the great era of pop and rock music that he helped to shape during his six decades in the music industry. Yet few of his numerous biographies and song guides take him as a historical subject worthy of scholarly study. In contrast, On Elton John approaches the artist seriously and analytically, while still couched in a highly accessible style.

Tired of personal responsibility? Ready to unlock the unlimited power of blaming the universe for your failures and stagnant life? This little work delivers a masterclass in how to rise to the top—by sinking to the bottom. We explore the new social hierarchy where feelings trump facts, being hurt is a superpower, and ambition is optional while complaining is mandatory.

However, brown explores the question from a Black, queer, and feminist viewpoint that gently asks, how well does this practice serve us?

Hun har selv været en del af det aktivistiske miljø, der med radikale metoder kæmper for minoriteters synlighed. I dag ser hun mere kritisk på de holdninger, som hun automatisk indtog, og de aktiviteter hun i retfærdighedens navn deltog i. Med humor og med alvor fører Aminata læseren ind i det tankesæt, der de senere år har fået Det Kongelige Teater til at indføre selvcensur, fået DR til at nedsætte et kvotemangfoldighedsteam, og Kunstakademiet til at kaste kunstnerisk frihed i havnen.
