Elvis Costello Fan Forum

...must she be tarnished by men who can only be men in their dreams? When beauty meets ignorance They shout in the streets Repeating their offer to each girl they meet The respect she needs It isn't a gift, but it gets hard to lift yourself up When you don't have the strength to begin with... As lon...

But what if our perceptions are factually incorrect? It could be a truth to us, but in reality, it's something completely different. For example, the Earth rotates around the Sun. But for years, men assumed that the Sun rotated around the Earth, because that is sure as Hell what it seems like what i...

Yes, I've heard Elvis muzakked in elevators. Of course, it's always Alison, and never Hurry Down Doomsday. How about when OTHER people get Elvisized unexpectedly? I can remember taking a long working trip with a Republican redneck from Fresno. Before I put in the Brutal Youth tape, I told him it was...

Lots of fun to you, CopeFan. I've seen him there twice...he likes Berkeley.

I admire UC Berkeley grads. What other town has serious political debates right on the street corner? Sure, the participants are homeless, but it's so encouraging!

I was just sayin' about a Ford motor...

That cool rain do a Ford motor good.

Pip, if you're saying you need a ride, Josie's saying the slut Mercury will make it. Stay tuned.

O great, favorite pee stories...I knew I hung out here for a reason. I've seen a lot of things, but I'm pretty sure I haven't seen what the toad saw in the bushes that day at the Golden Gate. I've seen guys pee from the tops of skyscrapers. Never done it myself... Wasn't "The Nasty" a disc...

It happens to me, as well, and the two time log in, and the occaisional invalid session. Good thing I learned to cut and paste. Or not. This kind of stuff, and the whole narbles thing makes me paranoid. I've often wondered how software gets corrupted. It seems that the corrupting influence would be ...

Really? A drink when thirsty is more pleasurable than sex?

I say you need more practice!

Get thirsty-drink liquids-fill bladder-release-repeat...

Sounds like ecstasy!

I'm really diggin the new Foo...

Take it from some one who knows many days filled with black coffee and diet Coke, and roads that stretch miles before an adequate rest stop: Yes, it is a great relief to pee, even a great release, but if you think it's better than sex, then perhaps you haven't yet experienced orgasm. Just a good nig...

The way I'm reading this, these are Hell-fired soul songs from the heart of a romantic man. The orchestrations really make you wonder. Perhaps his first "adult radio" hit is upon us. The bottom line is that he's doing what he wants, and getting it issued. He could probably make spare chang...

I've never heard anything from "The Rising" except the song "The Rising". I listen to an awful lot of FM radio, up and down the band, and on down the road. If the album is so good, why aren't they playing it? To make room for "Walk this Way" one more time? Now, when I f...

Of these, I choose Bruce Springsteen, because he is wonderful.

Okay okay...

Isn't there a song by Depeche Mode called "A Policy of Truth"?

O yeah, just go ahead saying what's in your head. They call the wind "pariah".

Great article in this week's Onion about a guy who goes to a family get-together...

Whatever you do, don't speak truth to power.

Of these, I choose The Nasty. I hope this refers to having sex.

Of these, I chose Canadian Club. This is because almost everything Canadian is wonderful. Jack D is too hard, Jim B is to Kentucky, and Southern Comfort is for sweet boys trying to get used to the stark pucker of whiskey. If you want to drink from the art of Canadian blending, there's still nothing ...

You can buy space at a place like geocities.com, like I did. Costs are about $5.00 a month. From there you can upload photos to the site from your hard drive. Then they are available though the website, in my case, such a photo might be at http://geocities.com/aropeleash/aropeleash1.jpg I urge every...

Okay, First, be sure the cursor is in the box. The photo must be available at a website. Click on the Img button. Type in http://website/photo then hit the image button again. Hit preview to see if it works before posting. Then you get a picture. Hopefully, it doesn't look like this one: http://geoc...

That's the capitalized "Truth", as in "the actual facts", then? There's comfort in that, but freedom depends on what the true facts are.

Is he talking to me?

..but can't we take from our available perceptions and extrapolate from that the imperceptible basics?

I feel dizzy...

One of my favorite books, Taz, the Sirens of Titan.

It's very hard to run away from an earthquake. I've felt some good jolts in California, and even some here years ago. It really makes a person feel helpless.

What you need is a heavy steel desk to get under...
