  • There is only one Elvis for me. He is prolific.

  • @runninglikewind

    Pretty much, though i would give Macca the edge.

  • this is indeed so beautiful

  • This song as originally written (by costello performed by allison kraus) for the movie Cold Mountain is a statement regarding wars in general. The effects it has on the ones left at home and the ones who start wars are addressed. When performing this song live, Costello has put in the "bring the boys back home" lyrics, not in the original arrangment, to put his personal political spin on it. Performing this in Tenn with the added words probably made him nervous enough to screw it up at 2:00!!!!

  • Wonderful song and wonderful harmonies..............

  • Elvis is king

  • Lied about absolutely everything to wage his personal war upon Iraq, which had NOTHING to do with 9/11

  • There's no evidence that Powell "knowingly lied in front of the U.N with Bush's blessing." That's pure conspiracy theory.

    Costello seems to be saying that the cause of the Iraq War is some vaguely rapacious desire to "want everything." It's this notion of a cabal of Capitalists meeting in secret and starting wars to increase their profit. So silly.
