Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Okay, in the song High Fidelity I always thought the fifth line was: "Love has never been an amateur hour" But on elviscostello.info it reads: "Lovers laughing in their amateur hour" I'll still sing it my way of course (elvis be damned), but after listening to the song several t...

People are spazzing out about this album... ~~I really don't think this is such a big departure from EC of yore. He has written many gorgeous love songs. He has also run off with the blond before too. I do not think that "Too Blue" is about Diana. If you read the lyrics, you can see where...

Maybe this just wasn't a good time for him to record an album. He could have just sat around doodling their names on a piece of paper for a few more months until he got it out of his system. You know, something like: Declan and Diana sittin' in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g. This just isn't yielding vintag...

All this seems very personal, I feel like I should avert my eyes and mind my own business.... G2S, I totally agree... makes me kinda worried and sad and happy for him all at the same time. *hands Elvis a robe* ~~Don't worry, SMM- he has done this before, HA! He is filled with passion and mid-life. ...

The Doofmonkster found himself in the gym today. Nothing I like my than a quick double espresso and a read of the paper before I leave. However, the papers weren't delivered today and so I had a snoop in the pile of magazines on the table. Now, I have no interest in boby building mags and so i foun...

Sounds like all this is getting very personal indeed! :shock: ~~Well, it can't all be sweetness and light. Bruce has a point. The deep dark truthful mirror quote is very honest and I have to say I agree with that observation. It is such an old fued. It really is time for EC to let it go. Maybe it i...

hey istandaccused, i read that about two years ago. i still re-read it on occasion. hilarious, dirty, adn sometimes a little life affirminmg. thus is bukowski. i've become a bigger and bigger fan of buk over the past year. i even got a tatoo on my arm of a broken glass heart dripping water on fire ...

I'm always good.......just very passionate. It must be that spicey Italian in me. :wink: ~~Sweet Pear, dear. I'm sorry if I appeared a bit harsh. Not my intention. Those of us that have been together over the course of three boards now, know the possibilities of the "flame" war. In this c...

Taz, is your dog a chihuahua? Looks like one from behind. You are both pretty darn cute!

I love Diana- Elvis is a lucky man. She probably does the best version of the song yet. Good luck to them both. Anyone see that review of a recent Diana Krall gig (San Francisco I believe)? Apparently, she sang Almost Blue (would love to hear that!), plus Everyone's Crying Mercy and a couple of othe...

Sweet Pear, I don't want to be rude but would you please do us all a big favour and STOP talking about Bebe Buell every five seconds? Us old timers have had enough. If you feel like you feel, great. But really,love, this has nothing to do with Elvis in the now or Bebe for that matter. Just let them ...

~~Gilli, you are right! He does date a transexual as well. Very pretty I might add. He used to love to go to the party called "Sueezebox" in NYC before it ceased to exist. I saw him there. He seems very nice too. I am a Joe Jackson fan, but my hero worship is somewhat tarnished by the fact...

~~I'm reading Charles Bukowski's- "Notes Of A Dirty Old Man". It is an old book published in 1969 and re-published in 1973.

~~Both "So Like Candy" and "Sweet Pear" are love names. Nick names for a lover. "Candy" is a pet name and so is "Pear". I think it sounds very sincere, and is very well executed for what it is. But, that, is a little one-dimensional, which is my complaint with...
