Elvis Costello and Emperors new clothes.
I have been an avid fan of this artist for over 25 years. I have suffered the Bacharach debacle and tolerated the Juliet Letters but lately what does he think he is doing? North was shite and the delivery man well mogadon country. To top it all he has done an opera on Hans Christian Anderson this is after his Il songo . The guy has pretensions above his talents and I can’t believe that the music press has not slaughtered him. The Emperor only got away with it for a bit old Declan McManus has got way with it for too long. It’s so sad as his music was so vital 20 years ago now it’s hidden in the back shelves in music shops.
Calling all Costello fans what do you think?
