Pretty embarrassing to the City of Miami and I can't believe the leaders there actually approved that. What about that Miami banker that gave $60 million to his employees?



p.s. to the OP, great username there. That's my favorite song.
Just wanted to say "thanks". It's my favorite Depeche Mode song, from my favorite Depeche Mode album by far (Violator).

Maybe you're referring to Elton John? The guy may have been a cokehead, but he paid his dues and is probably the 3rd most successful solo artist, after Madonna and the king of pop, the late, great Michael Jackson.

Pitbull doesn't have the prestige that Sir Elton has. He is a new artist who DUI'd recently and does not deserve the "key" to any damn city, IMO.

Pitbull, Rick Ross, ETC are all coke heads/blow hounds... Just listen to some of their lyrics. They glamorize both the use and distribution of the drug.

No, I wasn't thinking of Elton John. I think he is odd but a good artist. Don't really know of any of his scandals. Oh yeah, I do know a guy who "bedded" him :0

^^^Correction 1 DUI, he was acquitted on the other, so just 1 DUI on his rap sheet.

LOL, everything about Miami indeed....a reckless driver, DUI and he's loud, crass, (wannabe) ghetto and obnoxious....yep, if that's what that particular Commissioner considers "everything about Miami", who am I to disagree?

Pitbull sucks more than Vanilla Ice, IMO.

Umm... I'd really re-think moving to Miami if you are not a fan of the Pitbull crowd where you saw the concert. Actually, I couldnt think of a worse place if those folks bother you. Jus' being honest.
