The palpable tension between Costello and restless Bruce Thomas behind him really hangs over this. It's a shame Costello couldn't just thank Thomas for the brilliant bass-playing that drove those early records, instead of awkwardly dragging up their relationship as a seque to how much he misses Joe Strummer.

How could Elvis do this to Bruce?....Brilliant bass player and an important part of the Attractions....yes they didn't always get along but Elvis should keep his mouth shut about it on a night like this

@KimJongCostello Brillient is an understatement. No Bruce Thomas? No greatness.

Painfully awkward.

I love how much Costello puts his foot in his mouth...I actually find it likable and can relate to it....although I realize that is many people's problems with him

Thanks for posting...I've always thought it was hilarious that he mentioned all those songwritng teams and didn't mention Elton John & Bernie Taupin! Elton just inducted him and he's standing right behind him and you can tell he's getting pissed because he's not hearing his name :)

Just all around greatness
