Costello is quite the rancontuer especially when it comes to the topic of music. I don't know if you get Spectacle, his music/talk show in the UK. We get in America on the Sundance cable channel. His musical knowledge is encyclopedic and he did the best interview with Smokey Robinson I've ever seen. I was stunned that he knew so much about R&B and Motown music history. I've also seen him exhibit a similar scholarly knowledge of jazz, delta blues, Appalachian music and opera.
