@patriciaobrian Not sure why Patricia. His birth name is Declan McManus. His great-grandmother's name was Costello. His father adopted the Costello name around 1971 when he recorded "The Long and Winding Road" under the pseudonym 'Day Costello'. Sooo, that's about what I know.... lol Have a great day!

All he needs is a guitar and a microphone. That's it. Sure, the Attractions rule, the Imposters are marvelous, the Sugarcanes rockabilly all the livelong day...but I'm perfectly satisfied with just Elvis and his guitar.

@liverpooltheband Thanks a lot!!!!, I'm going to try...
-
I sure like the song. But why does the guy call himself Elvis? It's a copycat name.
-
Saw him in Charlotte this past Saturday night on the Revolver Tour. Best show I've ever seen. Absolutely incredible!
-

This may be blasphemy, but Costello is cooler than the "original" Elvis. Of course, Presley was taken over by pimp Col. Parker after '57, so it was pretty much downhill from there (except for the '68 tv special with the original Sun session players, Scotty and all. That was cool. EC was cool from jumpstreet. This song is so right on the New Orleans second-line mark... wow. And the guy's show, Spectacle, is one of the best things on the tube. And his wife is amazing. I don't envy many: he's one.
