Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Yep !

Jeez, Emmilou Harris is a stunning woman.

And Ot. is having an episode of Diana trashing...

Oh well...

VG what you forgot to do was to give me a ring and let me know, you dirty little $@&£@& !!! I give you two tight slaps !

Ha ha. Don't be silly VG.

Elvis didn't come to the meet up in December. He meant to, but couldn't make it (too busy keeping his wife in check...)

Dick hasn't got a licence ? oh oh. Maybe that's why they needed 18 hours to get a story straight. That would change a lotta things.

I also find this hilarious. The guy wasn't seriously injured. So next time he'll know better than dashing forward without a warning and putting himself in the line of fire... No kidding it's very thoughtless to do that, think of the guy who may end up killing you and suffering over it for the rest i...

I have something French for this thread. Really strange, because EC is not widely known in France. Only people who are quite knowledgeable about music seem to have heard about him. His lyrics are too sophisticated for the average level of the French in English. Well, the second time I went to Virgin...

About "Il Sogno" : Perhaps if one thinks of the play while listening, and imagines how the ballet could look like, then the performance would be easier to "endure" ... My point here is that this music was not written to stand alone. Isn't it a ballet ? So, without a ballet on sta...

Nice price nonetheless. In Paris the Japanese import of "My flame burns blue" is 40 Euros.

I am thinking, if I was on that kind of persuit Alexev, I'd just try to entice the Maître d'Hotel or some other strategical person to register the info whenever, and then give me a call.

Jeez, I never knew Anderson was such a sad case. I have suddenly realised that I now understand the Queen of Snow.

I don't get the joke about the "low status of French Canadians".

Sorry I only know the song.

Street Lighting Years - Simple Minds

Shepherd Moons - Enya

Under The Pink - Tori Amos

Absinthe was very trendy at the end of the 19th century, but it has been prohibited for a long time. You don't miss out on any valuable trip. Some great poets were fascinated by it, but it never helped them.The stuff was bitter and very toxic, it only had a stupefying effect on drinkers and destroye...

For those of you who understand French, I remember one. It's about Snow White :

"Blanche Fesses et les sept mains" (the original was "Blanche Neige et les sept nains")... Ha ha... Stupid.

Very nice choice of songs. I'll be waiting for the music.

Me too, I tried to switch of. But it was too awful and I did wonder, considering the storyline and settings, if it wasn't deliberate.

Annie Hall was the best for me. I laughed my head off.

I Agree with Otis. You can start a comparison, but it doesn't lead you very far. Did W. Allen step on my nerves with his habit of using his position to kiss actresses he fancied... As to Match Point, I am not sure why but I left before the end. At some point (can't say when, it would be a spoiler), ...

Yeah, life is full of farces. Let's see how long this one will last...

Thank you very much Alexev for your answer, this is exactly what I wanted to know.

Since a settled precedent can be overturned I am not sure if that was a great line of questioning... Alexev, I suppose that the Senate has procedural rules about this kind of hearing. Does the Committee have the right to ask Alito direct questions such as if he agrees with "Roe vs Wade", o...

Hey why did you make a cut in Boom's story ? It's all good fun.

I really like the "stream of consciousness" part ...

Oh no need to worry.

As an old Arab saying goes, "Dogs bark, but the caravan passes" ...

Good job, congrats.

WWS you're mighty knowledgeable man. Since you mention Tom Waits I'd like to ask something. It's about his song "Temptation", I love this kind of music. What would be the influences in it ?

Old country music. I bought a 4 CD "ballads" compilation that has one song I am crazy for, I don't know if it's famous :

"Desperados waiting for a train" - Highwayman.
