What's the facts about the feud between Elvis Costello and Bruce Thomas? I remember when E.C. and the Attractions were inducted in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, Bruce Thomas didn't want to go on stage with the other 3 band members.
@SirReal1958 Much of it stems from a book Bruce released in 1990 called "The Big Wheel," which is a fictionalized account of life on the road with a touring band (supposedly a thinly veiled version of his time with The Attractions). Apparently Elvis took serious umbrage to it and things were never the same. (Elvis' song "How to Be Dumb" is supposedly about Bruce.) They reconciled for "Brutal Youth" and "All This Useless Beauty," but Elvis began accusing him of being lazy and sloppy.
Bruce Thomas is still an amazing bass player, despite all the bad blood. Too bad it had to end that way. Great video - when Elvis rocks, he ROCKS!!

@SirReal1958 Anyway, it's a shame because I think The Attractions--all three of 'em--are the best rock backing band of all time.

Just rediscovering this album again. I'd naively skipped over quite a few great tracks in the past, but now loving it!!
