he fuckin wrote the song

[chrism823]

You either get it or you don't. Somebody brought a recorder into the theater so we could see and hear this gem. Don't criticize the quality! Don't watch it if you don't like EC. Your comments expose you as an airhead.

@kimrabb

name the writer of the music or to save you time check the credits for the song and you will find hey presto - elvis costello

[Filydan]

@kimrabb If you don't know what you're talking about, read don't write.

[Filydan]

Really? If you don't know what you're talking about shut the F up. Read, don't write.

[kimrabb]

@alecUNH he wrote the words, not the song, the song is a classic, much older than Costello

Nick Drake is pretty good but these are the pantheons I like: The Replacements - Let It Be, Tim, Pleased to Meet Me / Neil Young - Neil Young, Everybody Knows this is Nowhere, Zuma, Harvest, After the Goldrush /Buffalo Springfield - Buffalo Springfield Again/ Love - Forever Changes (has every kind of music genre..)

The Move - Shazam (later ELO) /Smokey Robinson and the Miracles - Greatest Hits /Graham Parker and the Rumour - Heat Treatment, Squeezing Out Sparks, Howlin' Wind /

@chrism823 Oh you didn't call me an airhead I was just defending someone I don't know. OK so you do think Elvis was great ... and with you classical and jazz background I understand why you might like later Elvis but really this is a song that does nothing for me and it might be the jazz and sound that my grandparents would like. My taste is not diverse and I am fuckin proud that I just like rock and pop (except for Coltrane or Davis..

[chrism823]

@11xzxzxz I don't really like the Johnny Nash tune that much. I just used that video to learn to sing it. I retired that one a long time ago. Dude, I like punk, jazz, classic rock, Nick Drake. The whole gamut.

[chrism823]

@11xzxzxz I shouldn't have called you an airhead. You're right, the first 5 records are great. Then I guess he changed. I apologize--it looks like 3 years ago I was the airhead.

@chrism823 But if you want to see the best rock visit my site cause you need to be schooled. Yeah I'm shaking that with your pedigree how could I ever defend myself against your upcoming barbs. Look, it's all opinion and I just don't like your fuckin' snobbishness and insensitivity when you criticized that guy and now he is on life-support on the hospital.
