And what a true great Elvis Costello is, a creative artist pursuing his own particular path with passion poetry and extraordinary vigour.
Long may he prosper!

Thanks man
When I Was Cruel 2 is an immense song. The first version of it's uber-cool too. As for the album, there are days when I love it and days I don't (speaking of which, I'll probably give it another spin soon).
Costello's certainly a very driven man, whatever he does, with a massively rewarding discography.
On top of all that, I've found out literally this minute that he's releasing a new album on June 9th
Just a shame it's four days too late - would've made a fantastic birthday present otherwise.
Anyway, glad you enjoyed the thread. If I can't get the next review done tomorrow, it'll pop up sometime next week for sure.
