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.

[deerfried]

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.

[MrJuajejo]

It really fucks me off the way you people react against this kind of comment. The man did nothing wrong, he just said something (a bit stupid) he thought, and all you people start attacking, calling bad names... it's like you seek something to hate, just because you need it... please hate something real, something that really worths hating. Please don't hate people that do not do nothing wrong... there's a lot of people that actually deserve being hated.

Chet Baker played the trumpet like nobody and was one of the best Jazz vocalists ever

[chickiesgrettagirl]

His name is Declan Patrick MacManus, he took Costello as it is

his Mothers maiden name:) Nice of him to do i say:)

So beautiful it's true

I love this song so much. "It's almost touching, it would almost do," is so horribly sad.

[krunoslass panacottovich]

It's so nice to read your words and find out what a great idiot you are. Thank you dear.

[VitoDeLaHoyaCardinal]

Thanks to Elvis Costello for writing this beautiful song, and thanks to Chet Baker for delivering the definitive version of it.

Going to see him in September :)

I cannot wait !

[Jon Weiss]

you can go to orqsilva channel on Youtube to find out. The song is a good song but songwriting is one thing and performing is another. Mailer was a great writer but his movies are terrible. AS I mentioned, to see the difference, check out Chet Baker's version of this song.

And you have done what, exactly?
