Elvis Costello with Bill Flanagan

Elvis Costello has followed his musical curiosity for more than 25 years. He may be best known for his participation in London’s mid-’70s punk scene, but he explored many avenues, including a jazz album that topped the Billboard charts for five weeks. He has won many awards including a Grammy for his collaboration with Burt Bacharach. Elvis Costello and the Attractions were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003. Costello offers both talk and song in an evening moderated by Bill Flanagan.

Bill Flanagan is senior vice president and editorial director of MTV Networks International and the MTV Networks Music Group. He is also a commentator on CBS News Sunday Morning and author of the novel A & R.

EC hits the 92nd Street Y!! He has arrived. Is this the same Bill Flannagan who did a book on U2? I read parts of it, and the section on the making of Achtung Baby (the only U2 record I like start to finish) was incredibly informative and well written. If it is, it should be good talk. But 50 bucks to hear EC talk?

I'm trying to work it out, but I can't flop fifty bucks on something like this right now.

I'll bet it will be recorded, EC has never done anything like this (the talk) before has he?

This sounds rather like the "Sold on Song" event which he did for the BBC in London two years ago. Mariella Frostrup interviewed him in front of an audience of BBC hacks at the Cafe de Paris in London, and EC played a few of his faves from "North".

You can see the press release, with further details here:
