Phil & David are the happy Madmen Across The Table as their dream "Naked Lunch" conversation with legendary songwriter Bernie Taupin continues with more talk about his amazing new album -- "The Sea Has No Mercy," out on October 23rd -- his remarkable and enduring creative partnership with Elton John, and lots of food talk, too. It's more than a little bit funny, and really interesting.
