a confession

if you please

I've never had much use
for Elvis Costello

I've always thought of him
as that funny little man
that was sorta maybe famous
cos he sang a couple of little songs
thru his nose in the 80's

and eventually
he married Diana Krall
and got really famous.

apparently I was wrong

have you ever watched
"Spectacle with Elvis Costello"?

apparently some really big names
like and respect him

listen to the calibre of guest list
this man has:
Herbie Hancock,
Kris Kristofferson,
Rosanne Cash,
John Mellancamp,
Norah Jones,
Rufus Wainwright
The Police
Tony Bennett
James Taylor
Lou Reed
Julian Schnabel
Sir Elton John
Sheryl Crow
Bono and The Edge

holy cow!

course...
he's still a funny little man
with a funny nasally voice
that sings other people's songs
in front of them

poorly...

but neat show!
