Thanks for the link to the Elton/Leon disk.
I really enjoy that. Leon is my favorite pop writer of all time.
Allen...not so much. In fact, personally, I find most of his stuff borderline offensive and lacking of any substance, other than lyrics (sometimes).
He's a slickly produced redneck, in my eyes...what makes country really hard for me to tolerate.
Bill, I think you are a better singer/songwriter than him.
Different strokes, for sure. Everyone should enjoy whatever turns their "switch".
Allen does not do it (anything) for me.
