Then he wrote a nasty book about EC and was excommunicated. But he did get inducted into the R&R HOF. I read the book and was surprised, expecting it to be nastier. There are a few references to "the singer" but nothing I'd call really nasty. I guess Declan is a little sensitive. The book is more of a story about the endless touring and trying to stay sane doing it. Book is called "The big wheel", btw. |

ERERER Jan 03, 2012 - 10:54 | Okay, for THIS song, I will take back all of my Elvis Costello criticisms. I stand (somewhat) corrected. |

Then came those artists that were "New Wave" and couldn't get played on top 40 radio! Those damned troublemakers were folks like Elvis Costello The Pretenders Tom Petty Devo B-52s they were so far afield of where commercial radio was going that they were only played on college, non-commercial stations. So you listen to them now and think "how mainstream" - but that's a testament to how they changed everything. Great post - right on |
lemmoth Nov 19, 2010 - 12:56 | My first (of dozens subsequently) favorite Elvis song. |
