Mr. and Mrs. Elton John and David Furnish. Now those boys can rock and roll. Elton succeeded in his quest to be the recipient of the sweetest gift of all-the birth through surrogate by way of induced labor of little Zachary Levon Furnish-John. According to unnamed sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, the conception was the hardest part, as it involved the splicing together of the genetic material within the donated sperm of the British superstar and his longtime spousal companion, whom Mr. Fantastic himself playfully refers to at times as his little "Brown Dirt Cowboy".
Like the lad in the song "Levon", the newborn son of the pair was born on Christmas Day, yet Elton named him Levon, and not Jesus, whom Elton claims was gay due to the noted compassion and forgiving nature of the Son of God. Elton might have been mindful of the potential curse of the lyrics of Levon, such as the following.
"And Jesus, he wants to go to Venus
Leavin' Levon far behind"
Obviously, Elton and David intend to be great parents to little Zachary Levon, raising him with love and discipline, and instilling in him the Christlike principles of forgiveness and compassion.
Let's all join together then in granting David and Elton a hearty congratulations and best wishes for the years to come.
