A TV newswoman came up to us along with the big old TV camera and asked us how we liked Elton John's concert. In my wonderful austistic way I said, "Well, I think it was a very honorable thing for him to do." The newswoman looked at me in a funny way and said, "Thank you." Afterwards, my wife commented on my unusual reply.


What is wrong with that reply?

It just wasn't the normal kind of response one would usually give after a concert upon talking about an entertainer's performance. Most would say something like, "I enjoyed the concert" or "He was great." But I said "it was an honorable thing to do." It was like he had sacrificed something. It just didn't make sense for the context of the event.
