Elvis Costello Fan Forum

I voted No. It's not one of my favorites. I think it's overproduced.

Boy. It seems like the girls outnumber the boys so far. Why couldn't I have these odds in college?

Don't we already know that he's working on a score of A Midsummer Night's Dream or something like that?

Wow, this looks like the best setlist so far. How long was the show?

Gee, talk about bitter . . .

Maybe one day we should open a serious discussion about bootlegging music. I am in favour of music, of course, and definitely in favour of Declan Patrick Aloysius MacManus and everything in connection with him. But I can´t understand -talking about this Forum- why people is so cautious and reticent...

Let me put it this way Laughingcrow.....I was 15 in 1978 when EC came out with his first record. (Wow, that makes me sound older than if I just would have said I was 40!) A very young 40, I might add. People are pretty surprised when they find out that I have a 19 yr old. :roll: Elvis's first recor...

That was a great song to listen to last Halloween. I'll have to try it again this year.

Darkness on the Edge of Town
The Ties that Bind
My Beautiful Reward

I like North a LOT, but it does sometimes help cure my insomnia :lol: The songwriting is, IMO, actually a lot more sophisticated than people are giving him credit for. The lyrics were written to fit the music. His usual wordiness, filled with double entendres and snappy phrases just wouldn't work. Y...

Too bad your poll isn't, "who would you LIKE to win." Frankly, I'd love to see Chicago and Boston is the Series, then at least one team would be assured of breaking its curse.

I can't take seriously a review from someone who lives with a "flatmate." I prefer reading stuff written by grown-ups.

I saw the incident with the TV show because a relative o fmine was a fan. We watched it one evening, and he turned it off after Rush made his comments. He's never watched or listened since. Al Franken discusses the incident in his new book. Apparently, the Limbaugh folks tried to explain it away by...

He resigned because it was a choice between that and being fired. Frankly, I'm disappointed that ESPN allowed him to save face like that.

Noise, I agree with your very coherent, thoughtful and intelligent remarks. However, let's not get distracted from the core truth of the matter: RUSH LIMBAUGH IS BIG FAT IDIOT! And other observations: Frankly, I have little sympathy for Rush and his drug addiction. In fact, I think the situation bor...

Despite a couple of quibbles, that's about the most intelligent, knowledgable review I've ever seen of any CD.

That's better than I expected. Thanks for the info!

Plying other people, not yourself. That would just be songs about drinking, which isn't much of a challenge. Excuse me. Some excerpts: The other night I laid sleeping, and I woke from a terrible dream So I caught up my pal Jack Daniel's, and his partner Jimmy Beam And we drank alone The other day I...

I just wanted to lend my support to Blue during such a troubled time of doubt! Rod Stewart really did make some damn good music before he morphed into "Rod Stewart" and became Exhibit A in what happens when you sell out and then live long enough to want your respectability back. His first...

No offense, but I've seen the A-List and Diana isn't on it

Well, I see I'm the only one who voted for myself. I guess my secret is safe

I'm with Spooky and POV. While TYM was an image and attitude defining album for Elvis and a sound-defining album for the Attractions, KOA is simply the best album Elvis has ever made! Hey! How did you know how I voted?!? I thought this was supposed to be an anonymous poll! What is this, an Iraqi el...
