Not previously heard a live version of this tune with Elton's own band, and I have to say this version is somewhat superior to the original! The Union is a great album but I'd love to hear another one recorded with Elton's band.

When he re-established divine worship it was done as a political act, not as a religous one.

The only society known to us capable of rivaling us in these arts is that of the Jesuits. But we have succeeded in discrediting the Jesuits in the eyes of the stupid populace, because that society is an open organization, whereas we stay in the wings, maintaning secrecy. Protocol, v
