Tom Robinson's comment is
Elvis was very into supporting RAR, but he wasn't big on political slogans. Rather than spouting earnest manifestos , he wrote great songs about the situation, like 'Night Rally'. His statement was to turn up and to sing , rather than talk about it.'

if my mind serves my right, on the record that was released after this event, there was one (some??) photos of EC as well. The track on the record was the AF version of Goon squad. Can someone verify?

cheers from far away
