I'd completely agree with you were it not for the fact that
back in 1993 and 1994 when they toured here after ESM, and
were not out of sight, they were still not appreciated.

But I'm thinking someone has to notice their live performances
right now.  I don't necessarily want them to be popular.  I
want them to get recognition here, but also I want people
to hear the good will they are spreading in the US at a time
when we need them.  Their shows have been uplifting.
