Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Can I just say (deep breath....) I LOVE 'GOODBYE CRUEL WORLD' AND I HAVE LOVED IT SINCE I BOUGHT IT ON THE DAY IT CAME OUT! I am sorry, I know its wrong. I have tried to dislike it and I know all the reasons why it is not very good...but...I STILL LOVE IT! Its ok... I love Only Flame in Town.... It...

I vaguely remember reading that it was about his grandfather's trips to America...

Its not a paper, its a blog, but its so worth it. Best news source on the web.

Noise - that was a case which you say you had inside information on - you 'knew' he was guilty. You have no inside information on Jacksons case so how can you possibly make such a superior judgement to say he is guilty? Wasn't it jesus who said 'Let He Who Is Without Sin Cast The First Stone'? If y...

Well, I am a nerd actually, but thats another thing.... I heard Radio Radio on the local all request station, but that was before I even liked EC. I really liked the song, but they never said who it was, so I forgot about it until I heard it again on Best of.

You're right on both counts! They didn't meet till the Armed Funk tour in the US, and Candy was her 'codename.'

*innocent of the charges. Sorry for being concise...

I understand, but doesnt 'insufficient evidence' to prove him guilty mean he's innocent??

Never heard truer words, Gillibeanz. And just as a note from the PreLaw major side of my personality, evidence is disallowed in a trial because a judge has decided its either tampered with, not pertinent, or improperly collected as is lined out in the constitution.

I may be in the minority, but I don't think he did anything. I also think OJ was innocent. Afterall, 12 people that knew all the providable facts of the case and that were specifically selected of imparitality unanaimously agreed that he'd done nothing wrong. Good enough for me, now lets find anothe...

You're not supposed to encourage me to drop out...

Wow, I only wish all teens had tastes like that. I have a cousin the same age, and her zen is full of Hilary Duff and other such atrocities. I tried EC on her, but she insisted he died in the 70's.

Yes, college life is one thing I can't wait for...

I've never seen that. An old friend was obsessed with it and always using it to put down RHPS, so I refuse out of spite... However, I'm on my way to the record store next week and I'll have look...

Oh what the hell, its better than student loan applications... Imperial Bedroom***** (they're arent enough stars in the world, I picked this up for the cover art and it changed my life) Very Best of****(good comp, but a little short on the early albums (just a little)) This Years Model****1/2 (a lit...

Any news on when it will air on the American BBC? I hope its not the same night, I'll have to skip part of my open house (so worth it....)

I just learned our little town of just over 9,000 people sees more drug traffic than anywhere else in the Midwest. Seems we have one of the few small, private airports that has no customs and is within four hours of the Canadian border.. hmm... I wonder if any famous people have done drugs trafficke...

too bad we're only supposed to have one number 1... 1. Human Hands 2. The Loved Ones 3. Beyond Belief 4. The Long Honeymoon 5. Almost Blue 6. Pidgin English 7. Shabby Doll 8. Man Out of Time 9. Tears Before Bedtime 10. ... And In Every Home 11. Kid About It 12. Little Savage 13. Little Fool 14. Boy ...

I've never even heard of them, but if you can give me recomendations I'll look into it. I love finding new bands to listen to, especially older, more obscure ones.

He's not a 'Costellohead' (I like that term, I'm taking it), but I'm working on it. I just found out that one of my former English teachers is a huge EC fan. She put a rather large (and really kinda scary) poster of him up in her classroom. I must say, he looks nice next to the ghetto Shakespeare. I...

*rereads once of twice*

yeah... I know... I thought that was the point of the other thread. hmm...

I feel your pain, try doing it in a middle of nowhere town in Michigan.... Still, there are always friends you can convert and such. And you never know. I'm with my current boyfriend because his mom found out I liked EC and set us up. There are good people out there still...

well, naturally...

hehehe... "Bowie-Lowie"

Um... 12 years of Bowie makes me about 5 when I was first exposed. My aunt has (well hidden) evidence of me dancing around to Jean Genie in my Princess Leia costume. Made sense at the time... Anyways, I do love Hunky Dory, but Ziggy was my first Album and nothing can quite compare to that, though St...
