Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Im picking Steve . . . I remember at the show in Nashville last fall I took a (an absurdly funny) picture of him with my friend Paul. Then a few minutes later I turned around and he was standing right behind me so I said "Steve!" . . . and he turned around and looked at me and only then di...

Lipstick Vogue is probably one of my top 5 . . . especially live.

Its been years since I read Candide, so I also feel sort of left out. But its all coming roaring back to me . . . well, maybe not roaring, trickling perhaps.

Maybe I should just read it again.

Is it a place?

El Vez, who is "You Bowed Down" about?

Is it a person?

Im not really very big on the institution of marraige but as long as heterosexual couples have the right to marry, the same rights should apply to homosexual couples. Also for common law marraiges, those people who have lived together as partners for years and years . . .

I like Veronica.

But if I was standing in front of Elvis and he said pick one song and Ill play it just for you right now . . . it wouldnt be the one Id pick.

Elvis Costello . . . of course
Greg Proops


Intelligent, talented/creative, funny, passionate, and uniquely hot.

The Clash
Nirvana
Jimi Hendrix

(would also have loved to see E and the Attractions circa 1978 . . .)

Hey wow, thats nice!

Where'd you get it?

Yes, I believe it was, along with a variety of other things . . .

* Sat on the roof and looked at the stars

* Took pictures of shadows

* Laughed for 3 minutes about gatorade

* Ate skittles and pretzels

Okay, so these arent the greatest Elvis photos ever taken . . . but here is the Taste of Chicago: http://photo.starblvd.net/~pip_52/1-5-2.jpg?i=1061617147&pw=*62B53F20060C Elvis breaks a string and keeps on going: http://photo.starblvd.net/~pip_52/1-5-3.jpg?i=1061621541&pw=*689D3F20067E And ...

Inversely, when someone says something like "I know we always tease you about listening to Elvis Costello so much, but he's actually pretty good" . . . dont you just feel so proud?

Most recently bought Alice and Blood Money by Tom Waits.

Before that I believe it was The Best Of Chet Baker Sings and Mingus Ah Um.

I feel that way a lot, a friend of mine and I used to get into these long involved arguments about music (until she started refusing to argue with me!), and it always bugged me when she said someone I really liked sucked. Its hard not to take things personally because the music we like it such a ref...

Didnt he say at one point he'd want it to be:

"Here lies a songwriter"

. . . or maybe I just made that up?

I was happy with my contrived, unspontaneous kiss from Elvis because its the only kind of kiss Im likely to ever get from him . . . That said, I would still ask him again, though I would probably take Lapins idea of reversing the question. And I dont eat weeties, but thanks anyways, I didnt mind, in...

Unfortunately it was just on the cheek, though unbeknownst to me at the time, he was a single man. Its probably better I didnt know that . . . :wink: Come to think of it I dont think he actually said yes. I asked and he gave me this look like he was going to say something and then he just went ahead...

I asked him for a kiss before . . .


He said yes

Wave a White Flag

does that count as rare, even though its a bonus on MAIT? Im picking it anyway.

Some of them I feel like I should know and theyre going to be driving me crazy meanwhile . . .

Will you tell us all the right answers when its over as well?

- Getting any sort of mail that does not require that I send a check in return. - Getting an email from someone I havent heard from in awhile. - Finishing a really good book. - Sitting outside staring at the clouds knowing theres no place else I have to be. - Laying on the ground looking up at the s...
