Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Well, at least somewhere listening to some good Elvis Costello music.

Oh, come on storm. It's gotta be better than that.

I've been listening to that song a lot lately. Is that who it's about? I don't know.

I'm not going to pretend to be 100% knowledgeable about the whole Elvis-Bruce thing, but I will say this. The book seems silly and written for the purpose of making a buck. I won't pretend Elvis is perfect, but he did say at the Hall of Fame Induction that he thought it was no time to air petty grie...

You could refer back to the old board when MS had us all together for a cyber Cinco de Mayo party. Remember, MS? Or do you . . . .

MS: Boys and girls are different. Raising three boys and one girl highlights that for me every day. :lol: And I didn't get all four of my kids the conventional way - I birthed two and inherited two others who needed a mom. But I still spend every day making sure they all grow up to be productive mem...

Bunny (sorry - I know you have a new name, I'm just not used to it yet) I really like your pic today of the little girl. Very nice. It's like she was playing peek-a-boo with you without ever leaving her stroller.

I'm jealous!! You lucky gal, Mug!

Taking photos of yourself in hotel rooms, huh rope?

This is a picture from the wedding reception I catered last night.

Bunny - I almost did advertising, but took journalism instead. I can't stand the sorry state of what gets called journalism nowadays, so I don't use it. That's why I just want to go back to writing the things that make me happy. I took one photography class in college but I didn't pay enough attenti...

I also compose well on a keyboard, but I realized a few days ago one thing that was different for me. When writing on a keyboard, I simply backspace or delete to change what I want to say and it goes away. When writing by hand, I often mark through it or scribble over it, but I can still tell what I...

Now there's a way to spend a birthday!

Well, this thread has taken a few crooked turns. I suppose I should re-route this back to MS to ask what has been decided for birthday festivities.

MS, where are you? What have you decided? Any new suggestions?

Unfortunately I think a lot of the reason for lack of letter writing comes down to the fact that the world is just too damn busy to take the time to write a letter. I do miss writing letters myself. I wrote many when I was younger. I know it is silly and girlish to remember this particular person, b...

I'm there!!

No way, SLL! Don't leave!! I'd miss you terribly! :o We're all intellects in that we are smart enough to enjoy the music of Elvis. Other than that, I don't claim to be intelligent in many other fields. It's just nice hanging out here with other people who love discussing Elvis and life and love, etc...

I like Blues, I've never seen Drive By, although I remember ElVez from the old board being into them.

$3 is cheap and free is also good. Enjoy!

Nah, Poppet. We're here because we're all intellects who are like-minded and we're escaping the inferiors of the world to talk to each other

MS: Those are the ones I like to read the most.

Of course, I'm tanked up while reading your alcohol-fueled posts so what the hell?

That would be July 12.

Celebrate accordingly.

And I swear to God that story is true. I wouldn't make up a story like that - journalist or not.

Wow, Doof. That was really deep and personal. Thanks for being so open about something so private - especially in the name of discussing an Elvis song. It's always cool when someone else writes a song that helps us live through something - good or bad. Sounds like the song really spoke to you in tha...

I must confess, at one point I do remember saying that about him - that his voice irritated me. That he really couldn't sing and that he obviously just built a career off writing and enjoying what he did. I don't know what happened, but one day it was like I got smacked across the face and I couldn'...

So, what you don't spend on cd's you spend on concerts, right DrJ?

What a life.

You got it the day you fell in love with your fiancee.

We all do things for love. You should know that by listening to Elvis.

Tell her you'll keep going to the gym if she'll listen to more Elvis. Seems fair.
