Definitely propulsive. Great vocals!

I think it’s unlikely he would have undertaken a tour within the course of any sort of chemo- if this is a prostrate cancer ( as seems to be implied by the advice to gentleman only) then it’s more likely that the tumour had been completely removed but that the histology has shown exactly what type ...

Got tickets for AP and CT.

Still hoping for some NYC dates to be announced.

How can you pass up Asbury Park?

Wallingford is closer.

"Tears Before Bedtime and Shabby Doll - both taken from most Elvis fans' least favourite album, Imperial Bedroom - only served to dampen the buzz built up elsewhere."

Huh?

Looks like a road trip to CT for me. Maybe ba too?

I have that Get Happy!! button somewhere...

Coverage on social media indicates these dates have been hit with more misfortune - https://twitter.com/BlackbirdProd/status/1000581077445103616 Due to illness, Willie Nelson was unable to play tonight at the Outlaw Music Festival at PNC Music Pavilion Charlotte. Fans are asked to please hold on to...

That's one expensive jukebox

The intro to Waiting For The End of The World and the intro to Big Tears have a very similar structure. In a good way, of course.

Thanks. Not that funny unless "this guy over here" is someone they know.

The 40 year anniversary celebration has got me reviewing some of the excellent ABC News 20/20 video footage, including this clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHR1kOBce8s#t=0m20s During the intro to Radio, Radio, at 0:25, he says "They thought they were gonna stop us. [????] was gonna stop u...

From that NYT link - A similarly inventive approach guided Elvis Costello in his jazz-inflected reimagining of the poem, “I’ll Still Love You.” “I looked at the lyric and, before I could stifle the thought, the melody appeared in my head,” Mr. Costello wrote in an email. “I left Steve Berkowitz sit...

Neat little project. EC seems to enjoy putting together these interesting orchestrations. Burt's influence?

The 1978 Less Than Zero clip is a bit random though.

"We hope to continue releasing singles like this until the entire album is available"

Yay!

I don't mind the requests, but sometimes the timing is awful, like the Two Little Hitlers moment. Here's a truly lovely moment, when So Like Candy was requested at Carnegie Hall: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sD9pjDqaquk#t=5s Lisa's face lit up just now when I played this, with goose bumps ensuin...

Another chance for Elvis to sing with Willie?

Upon review, it sounds like the same guy who screamed "Two Little Hitlers" about 1 second prior to the start of Almost Blue. Wildly inappropriate and not a plant IMO. The "Two Little Hitlers" guy was the balcony, or maybe way in the back on the floor. The "Welcome to the Wo...
