I like that song
"so you overdose on aftershave and try to slash your wrists". Not quite as good as "I wish you luck with a capitol F" but I like the line anyway.

not the PIC
FYI...that picture above (from today's Washington Post) is not a picture taken at the Strathmore show. EC was wearing a black tux at Strathmore.

IB is at the top of my list for several reasons. I was about 19 when it came out and in my second year of college (and I was absorbing all kinds of new music back then). It helped to have fallen in love (she's now my wife of 18 years) and we both listened to that record over and over and over again....

Defending Elvis w/ 3 R & R Songs - Converting casual fan
I've known an number of people in my age group (I'm 43) who say EC jumped the shark after Armed Forces (and that they only listen to the first 3 albums). In his defense, I explain EC's diversity from Soul to Country to Classical to whatever. But I also say that he's still a rock & roller beyond ...

Big Sister's Clothes - Does anybody know?
I've always wondered why he put the line, "Nick Lowe not responsible for this one" next to Big Sister's Clothes. Does anybody know? My first assumption was Nick didn't like the song and didn't want it on the album. Maybe he liked "Big Sister" better and wanted THAT on the album. ...

Song Never Heard Live & Song You've Only Heard Once
I've seen EC at least 15 times since 1977 at the Warner Theater in DC. I've never, ever heard him play You Little Fool live. And I'd love to sometime in the future. I've heard him play Shot With His Own Gun once (solo w/ T-Bone Burnett in 1984) and it was great. I'd love to hear that one again. Name...
