The October `03 issue of Esquire (U.K. edition) has
an `email` interview with Elvis (P.147). Done on July
18th when Elvis was in Vegas ( the intro. sez) it
doesn`t have anything sensational in it . He mentions
seeing Woody Allen in concert in one of Allen`s famous
pub. gigs. He also laments missing the White Stripes
in concert `cos recording on North ran late one
Saturday. It finishes with a cheeky question about
Elvis and Diana making `sweet music into the early
hours`, to which Elvis gamely responds `You cheeky
blighter! This is Esquire , not Hello! `
The same issue has an interview with Neil
LaBute which includes the following comment :
`Smashing Pumpkins were my choice for `The Shape Of
Things` , but when I made the film I opted to use
Elvis Costello instead. On film , where you can cut
from one scene to the next in an instant , those
Smashing Pumpkins couldn`t even get started while
Elvis Costello writes such strong , hooky and acid
thoughts about relationships. In three or four bars ,
he could set the tone for the scene . `

Fat chance!
Even if they did, you can bet he'd have changed it by now.verbal gymnastics wrote:I don't suppose they gave Elvis' email address did they?
