Re: Costello "official" website

OK, so has anyone else requested a refund? If so, have you received it yet? And if you did, how did you go about it??? I've sent several emails to the "official" website addy and ~ needless to say ~ have not heard back from them. I also replied directly to the email I received, asking how...

Re: The Politics of Politics: The Ride of a Lifetime

Anyone watch The VP debates? I thought they were really interesting. Palin's "folksy" sayings really grated on me. Doggone it? In a vice-presidential debate? Really? I also thought she danced around the questions way too much. She may look like Tina Fey, but when she speaks she reminds me...

Re: Random Thoughts

Ever go to a concert with a friend, only to find out that she left the tickets on her kitchen counter, 53 miles away? :roll: No, but if it was a good concert, it would be an ex-friend! It's my fear, taking the train to London (55 miles away) and realising at the venue that I've forgotten the ticket...

Re: Elvis does another corporate show, San Fran. Sept. 25th

I watched that video and noticed Elvis was chewing gum and singing. During the one Spectacle taping I noticed this also. I don't recall Elvis chewing and singing before. New habit. Seems hard to do. Why would he do that? Chewing gum is for children, not for adults who are 54 years old! What's wrong...

A friend and I had to go on a 4-hour roadtrip today, so we listened to "The Very Best Of Elvis Costello" ~ all 42 tracks. Sure made the monotonous drive a lot more pleasant, and my friend is fast becoming another ElCo fan. :D

I watched this the other night. Too funny! Elvis seemed jumpier than a long-tailed cat in a roomful of rocking chairs.

Re: Gas Price Gouging

That's weird. How can they get away with that?!? For whatever reason, gas prices here in northern California haven't been affected either way from Ike. Price per gallon at the corner store dropped down to $3.66 almost a week ago, and that's where it still is.

Just a question-- when the year's membership is up, does it automatically charge our credit cards for another year UNLESS we "opt out"? Or are they going to ASK us if we want to renew?? Since it's so difficult to get a response from them, I want to make sure I don't end up paying for anot...
