WHO IS ALVIN TOSTIG?

[gdp...@dmi.net]

I'm sure this has been asked and answered a thousand times but I'm new to the group.

Who is Alvin Tostig?

An answer will solve one of life's great mysteries for me.

So as not to clutter the group with repeated answers, I can be written at GDP...@DMI.NET.

Thanks a heap.

Tostig is imaginary, and Ford is the man who killed jesse James and his
brother.

says...

Where did you hear that Alvin Tostig is imaginary?...its seems very
unlike Taupin to just make up a name like that, especially given the
context of the song.

Speaking of, what's the deal with that Rolling Stone review of
_Madman_ that was posted...Alec Dubro (reviewer) apparently doesn't
think very hard about lyrics! I *love* those lyrics...and I'd also
love to know who Alvin Tostig is too.
