I don't care much for Elvis Costello anyways. Only the really good ones like "Watching The Detectives" or "Pump It Up." Otherwise he's really wimpy and the music is often limp and goofy.
@179rich Interesting. I agree with you on the Bowie influence - especially on Armed Forces. I don't particularly like this song but I think Costello has a gazillion good ones
@kevtruth - agreed. He really is a brilliant musician. "I Want You", "KIng of America" are favs of mine too...but I couldn't bear to sit through albums like PUNCH THE CLOCK or BRUTAL YOUTH so I don't think I qualify as a fan.
@179rich With Punch The Clock, he plunged into banal waters. Actually he's laid quite a few eggs, but he's still one of my favorite singer songwriters. Bowie would be right up there too

The David Bowie influence is quite obvious on this one.

@zkxv - if you can't recognize the Bowie influence that's not my problem. You must not be a Bowie fan. :PP
