I'm not gay, but I will gladly make concessions, just this once, in my extreme gratitude for posting this.

@joanofnarc : Really? Elvis Costello would do that? Madonna had to the lyrics sheet of her Like A Prayer album scented with patchouli - and I cursed her daily for it, because I was working in a record store at the time of release and had to handle whole stacks of those stinking things. The smell was everywhere. Godawful.

personally his most underrated albu, This Town, Veronica and Tramp the Dirt Down lyrically and musically are some of Costello's finest work.

[AwinnerisNate]

Is there a copy of the Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood video that's shown in the opening montage anywhere?

[nonstopdancer]

Awesome awesome awesome :D

Remember watching this when it went out, and had it on tape for years until I lost it about ten years ago. Been itching to see this again, thank you!
