Guys ..I don't see any bad blood here...a few remarks may have giving the wrong impressions coupled with obstacles in our paths...health, loss of friends etc..it adds up and sometimes emotions come out that are not representation of who we are...and also are wrongly interpreted...
Don is the same great guy he was yesterday..far from being a racist..
Chas, he is the same "old" guy he was yesterday...and possibly has a feel for what he thinks is racist remarks..
BTW: I did not read either in the post..
In the end ..Don is the better performer..at least he can sing..
