Am I correct that the Elvis/Bono relationship is similar to the Elvis/Sting relationship? I think I remember reading some not-so-nice things EC has said about Bono. He said in 1983 that he didn't like U2, but they apparently won him over after that. The earliest U2 on his Vanity Fair list is 1984's...

Details from atu2.com : As you may know, U2 taped an edition of Spectacle Tuesday in Toronto. It's a music performance/interview program hosted by Elvis Costello that airs on the Sundance Channel, and typically involves Elvis and his band performing songs with his guests.

I wonder if only the Bono episode will be done in Toronto.

This really deserves its own topic. On a previous thread , it was noted that a Toronto-based makeup artist posted on Twitter: i'm booked 2 do mkup 4 a taping of Spectacle (Elvis Costello's show)-the guest is so famous no 1's allowed 2 know who it is till last minute ...followed by... ....and it's a ...

I think this says it's the version from Spectacle , although it's odd that Amazon's description doesn't mention Elton John's involvement. RIO - Lançado no início do ano pela Universal, "Quiet nights", o mergulho na bossa nova da cantora e pianista canadense Diana Krall, vai ganhar uma vers...

Yes.

There's a post on Twitter which says "the guitarist from the Doobie Brothers and Huey Lewis' keyboardist" — which I assume means John McFee and Sean Hopper — joined for the encores.

The Doobie Brothers are playing the same festival tonight. I have no explanation for Sean Hopper's presence.

No idea what this is about...
