Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Mick Jones makes a searing guest guitar appearance on this track which I believe Elvis has recounted as one of his most enduring songs... "All the buttons on my overcoat they have fallen off one by one." What's it mean, I don't know, but it does conjure up those early photos of EC and the ...

I know I'm a moron, but it sure is nice to have folks like Hungup around to confirm it.

Question to all of those out there that hate Verionica. Do you hate even the middle eight part (or whatever you call that part) that starts out "Do you suppose that bla blah blah... Veronica has gone to hide... blah blah blah... etc." I always thought that was an exquisite piece of songwri...

The multiple marriages are a clear sign he's overcompensating.

... not to mention how sharp he's been dressing lately.

I still think he's secretly gay...

Kids say the darndest things...

hey,

pip and i were there, and i think that she can attest to the fact that we were, in fact, all TOTALLY naked, and while not dancing, were performing what is historically known as 'Jazzercise'.

Is there anyway we can get rid of the PREPARE FOR THE TASTE thread, at least from the top? It's way old and kind of embarrassing because most of it is my useless drivel anyway.

Thanks

It's Time and You Bowed Down I find to be terribly mediocre..., they just kind of trudge along One Dust was enough for WIWC. Daddy is great. Sounds like it should be on Taking Liberties. Of course, we can't forget Kojak, though maybe we should. I hated I wanna be loved until I saw the video, since t...

In other news: John Lennon's ashes reconstituted for a ho-hum show last Sunday night at CBGBs. Lennon capped the night off with a tune called "I'm So Tired". So were we John!! The song, off of the album "The Beatles", evidently from the bands debut album, received an unexpected s...

Strike that last comment, Pip, if I remember right, you weren't even born yet!!

The way he ripped into Radio Radio made me feel like it was 1978 all over again.

Except when I looked over at Pip and she wasn't wearing diapers, I knew it couldn't have been!

Does anyone think that perhaps after over 2 straight years of Elvis being all things to all people; being available to the media and even cheerful about it 24/7; from hosting late night talk shows to in store appearances and signings, to Frasier, to The Simpsons, to the Rock and Roll Hall of fame, t...

How bout the really dead elvis?

Luckily, though, it didn't rain a drop during EC's show!

I posted a few months back that the one thing I knew about the weather at this time of the year in Chicago was that either it would be hot and humid OR cold and rainy. I regret to say that I was wrong. Yesterday, it was HOT and HUMID and COLD and RAINY; all in the span of about 2 hours. Pip and I go...

Yes, mood, I wave a pickle on a stick as well as the rest of them. Like a magic wand in fact!

Sounds like a great show to me too!! I wonder if Elvis will change his repertoire at all to cater to some of the bigger, less EC aware crowds he will be facing this summer. I'm seeing him at Taste of Chicago this Sunday, and I'm sure that he will be facing a big dumb drunken sweaty massive crowd. I ...

Ok, Let's try and get a final tally of who/what/where/when for the taste this weekend. I know there are only a few of us, but would you mind posting any particualrs regarding your visit to Chicago that you wish to share with us. That way I can start to formulate more of a solid plan. Thanks, Craig P...

I always sang it as

Love is nothing but an amateur hour.

I will wear my EC WIWC hat.

Hi - I'm back. But my wallet is still in Las Vegas. I didn't make it camping this weekend, but I did stumble over to the Taste on Sunday afternoon. It is an ugly scene over there. Hot sweaty, dirty, yuck, Elvis will be the only saving grace next Sunday. If there is one time and place I wouldn't want...

Sorry to hear it poppet, but I'm sure that the Boston show will be great. I've got tix for Detroit as well. BTW - if anyone else wants to make any more plans about the Taste, please be aware that I will be away from a computer from 6/23 to 6/30. I'll be back in time to further plan for the july 6th ...

Edge goes to Crimes, the creshendo in the middle eight is unsurpassed. I hate Miss Macbeth, well, hate is too strong a word, but it just reminds me of all the other over inflated stuff on Spike. You know, I changed my mind, tied between Tears and Crimes. And Sunday's Best is great to, except Cop Fan...

Pump it Up, if only because the recording quality is so much better.
