Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Saw him on TV a couple of times and liked what I saw, but never live. I still enjoy his music, just not that night.

For the Neil Young show if there was any mellower stuff I don't remeber it, but it was quite some time ago. I'm happy to hear rock, but this was beyond rock. Unfortunately there was no internet bulletin board to inform me of what to expect. Hey My Hey Hey and Like a Hurricaine were the only highligh...

Neil Young during the Rust Never Sleeps tour, probably around 1978 or 79. Perhaps it was my own fault because even though I was somewaht familiar with that album I expected songs like Down by the River, Cowgirl in the Sand, Cinnamon Girl, etc. and the entire concert just sounded like blaring noise a...

I knew when I clicked on this thread the megaphonies would be all over it.

Yourself included.

Are you Rachel in disguise? No I am not Rachel. I'm just a long time former fan who felt betrayed by his favorite artist about a perceived offense that EC committed that hit close to home for me, which I coincidentally found out immediately after returning from my 1st trip to Israel and riding an e...

I suppose evrybody has their own personal convictions. I personally can't get over it nor do I want to. Although he sort of said that he wasn't taking sides, he essentially did take sides by scheduling and then canceling the concerts. Actions speak louder thsn words. It's kind of like that scene in ...

Hmm.. OK, whatever you say. I just thought it was about the music and making people happy. Guess I have no clue, once again.

I would ask him 2 questions:

1. Weren't you aware of the plight of the Palestinians when you initially booked the concerts in Ceaserea, Israel?

2. Why do you were those ridiculous hats?

Just got back from Israel and heard Lipstick Vogue in a t-shirt shop in the Jewish Quarter in the Old City section of Jerusalem.

To keep this in perspective, I don't think Elvis has been playing any Muslim countries either...

popeofpop,

It's one think to not play somewhere, but it's another thing to schedule a concert and then cancel it in such a public way.

Come on, rsternb1! This thread was buried, and you came here and dug it up?! You're a megaphony, and you know what I'm talking about. Actually I have no idea what you are talking about. If you want this thread to disappear, then ignore it and don't attack me. Although I have not posted here before,...

Actually, I'm from Philadelphia.

I have been a long time Elvis fan. I just returned yesterday from an incredible trip to Israel and even visited the Roman Theatre in Caeserea where these concerts were to have taken place (a unique venue to say the least). I had toyed with going to one of the shows but couldn't work it out with my t...
