Elvis Costello Fan Forum

I truly respect your ideals Rope, but they are ideals. War is the second oldest profession. It will never end. Power and Sex, Sex and Power. Everybody wants to attain and sustain them. We're human. Animals. There is no Utopia and there never will be. Dems and Repubs are after the same things. They j...

I'm sorry. I really hate politics. It's so fucking divisive. I respect all the folks on this board. I don't know why I even get involved in these threads. No opinions are gonna be changed. Kerry, Bush, Nader, Ditka. The US moves like a land mass. One person, even a President, can't cause a Sea Chang...

One of the funniest jokes I've ever heard is:

Why does Ron Jeremy masturbate with his pinky pointing in the air?

Cuz he's classy!

I guess you had to be there.

Maybe if Bush (and Blair too) apologised to the Iraqi people for going to war on the mistaken belief of the presence of WMD, and offered money to pay for the damage they caused, then artists and people on this board would go a little easier on him. If apologies are in order, I spose Mr Kerry and Mr...

Your hedgehog is the spitttin image of Jeremy.

But Ron has more hair on his stomach.


Plus it looks like the little thing has a hand on it's who-ha!

Sorry, but it actually gets worse. In fact, it's a thumb, a finger, and a nub.

This for once and for all confirms the awful truth we have all suspected for years": Elvis has only three fingers on his left hand!

Ergo the bond with Jerry Garcia.

I thought Ron Jeremy was in hiatus.

My Dad taught me to drink gin over vodka. He was a survivor of the three martini lunches during work in the 60's. He said that gin leaves a strong odor on your breath, while vodka leaves relatively little odor. When you come back to work after your 3 Gin martini lunch, you're boss will think you're ...

Cop is right. The production just sounds weak or thin. Miracle Man had the potential to be one of the greatest songs of all time. (Like Creep, You Don't Know Me, In My Life, etc.) You could've been a Sr. Citizen in Boston, but no, you took a wrong turn and now look at you. You're just an angry old ...

Isn't "I Want you Queery" also the final hidden track on the new Morrisey record.

I mean no harm.

Well that's another story all together, isn't it?

As soon as there are more than 10 responses to the Evan poll, then we'll worry 'bout Juliana.

I think Evan has his ups and downs but occasionally is a very good songwriter indeed. I am not completely familiar with his whole catalogue, but It's A Shame About Ray and Come On Feel The Lemonheads are both excellent records. Are his recent solo outings any good ? I think his solo Baby Im Bored i...

I happen to be of the op that Dando is a brilliant songwriter, but he seems so overlooked. I'd be interested in others' opinions.

....sometimes I think that some people on the board would say that it was great if Elvis farted and recorded it. Wasn't this the B-side of What's So Funny About PLU ? It's a well known fact that Elvis never released his farts because they couldn't approach the raw intimacy of his demos. It seems he...

The fact that half of the greatest band of the 20th century is now dead blows me away and is testament to the fact that I am a fucking old codger. And I didn't even start listening to them till the 7th grade in 1976. Happy Birthday Mr. Starkey!! And Paul, we're all still waiting for a return to form...

BlueChair wrote:Billboard.com has a new article about the Elvis reissues:

"Almost Blue," which peaked at No. 50 on The Billboard 200, is widely regarded as Costello's "country album."

Interesting take, but I don't see it. I guess that's why reviewers make the big money.

Being one myself, I am discouraged and dismayed by the politically incorrect characterization of cretins on this board.

And I'm left handed!

It would have made a solid LP. Every album needs a clunker near the end. It sets up for the grand finale.

The important questions of life...

The smooth and the furry.

The Sound and the Fury.

I'll take Faulkner over Hemingway, any day.

I've always seen Chewing Gum as sort of an acid tongued, tripped out prodigal son of Tears Before Bedtime for some reason. With all the falsetto and baritone vocals, and the arrangement in general.

I envision mine being more like Woodstock II.

Alot of dirty people tossing sod at me.
