Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Hiatt is a pretty interesting character. His alt/new wave records like Riding With the King are, to coin a phrase, Brilliant Mistakes.

When in the world did he give handprints for a walk of fame?? He's not on the Hollywood Walk of fame, so what could it be...plus they give out stars, not handprints! :-) Maybe that was when he was in Hollywood for the show in 2002 at the Ford theatre? Very odd, and funny that he used gloves...littl...
