I recently attended an Elton John concert. Before playing this song, Elton explained how "Ballad of the Boy in the Red Shoes" is about a dancer who contracted AIDS around the time when the disease first boomed. Elton said it is also reflective of the government's lack of care and help to those with AIDS.

Props to Elton, another great song.
