British pop icon Elton John at his Moscow concert called on Russia to end discrimination against gays and lesbians.
	The openly gay singer said he was "sad to learn" about a Russian "anti-gay law" which bans what it calls homosexual propaganda to minors, the Interfax news agency reported yesterday.
	"He called for renouncing all discrimination, including that based on non-traditional sexual orientation," the agency said, using an expression in Russia for describing homosexuality.
	According to Interfax and several messages on social networks, John dedicated his concert to Vladislav Tornovoi, a 23-year-old man tortured to death in May in Volgograd, in southwest Russia, apparently for being gay.

The Fender Stratocaster that Bob Dylan plugged in when he famously went electric at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival has sold for nearly USD 1 million, the highest price ever paid for a guitar at auction.
	Christie's auction house did not immediately identify the absentee buyer who agreed to pay USD 965,000 for the sunburst-finish guitar yesterday.
	Dylan's legendary performance at the festival in Rhode Island 48 years ago marked his rupture with the folk movement's old guard and solidified his shift away from acoustic music, like "Blowin' in the Wind," to electric rock 'n' roll, such as "Like a Rolling Stone."
	The raucous, three-song electric set was booed by some in the crowd, and folk purists saw Dylan as a traitor and a sellout.
	But Dylan's "going electric changed the structure of folk music," said Newport Folk Festival founder George Wein, 88.
	"The minute Dylan went electric, all these young people said, 'Bobby's going electric. We're going electric, too.'"
