I don't watch his videos for more than a minute. Sometimes its good to watch mediocrity in action so one can recognize it and hold themselves to a higher standard.

@orqsilva so you're in the habit of finding "mediocre" musicians and watching their videos for 1 minute, then stopping, just so you can inspire yourself to seek a higher standard. And then proclaiming your awareness of your superiority to the world. Sounds like a worthwhile use of your time.

Chet gave it pathetic, heart-wrenching tragedy.

feelings are never mediocre, unfortunately

@orqsilva i don't care how great you think you are, or who you think is great. but everyone can respect elvis costello, and you're a pretentious ass if you say otherwise

Thank you for posting this clip. Wonderful rendition.

@orqsilva dont watch the video if you don't like it!

The song is OK, it has flaws.  Point is, he can't even sing his own song. Maybe he has some talent as a writer, but not as a singer and guitarist. He was slick and rode the wave of "punk" disaffection (being completely "unpunk" himself) to some sort of popularity. .
