Re: Mighty Like A Rose at 30
Aside from So Like Candy. He was in transition from Cait, who I imagine that song was about, and in a weird place. They were married for another ten years. He wrote this with McCartney.

Re: Elvis & The Imposters with Nick Lowe & Los Straitjackets, Hartford HealthCare Amphitheater, Bridgeport, CT, July 5,
I didn't take notes either, but I'm pretty sure Possession was the second song. If you go to this venue, sit as close to the center as possible. The sound is absolutely atrocious on the sides. Also, I counted exactly two times Charlie got to solo, while Elvis soloed constantly. What's the point of h...

Re: The Songs of Bacharach & Costello: 4 album set based on Painted From Memory, March 3, 2023
The 4 CDs alone could easily be priced and sold for under $80. Vinyl is expensive to produce these days, so they created the problem just to justify a high price.
