Ed,
Don't want to speak for Elton - I suspect he wants to remain a part of the
silent majority.
He had put on some shows with Daniels.
Tom, of course was one of your fathers ("founding" that is.)
The reason I am such a nut about letting the other side have its say without
McCarthy labelings, is that my mid is easily changed and I do not want to
intimidate those with other views from their right in trying to influence
me.
As Slim Steve says, "get over it".
