@ChrisWillman@MPenn@Variety .@MPenn may not remember, but another Penn/Mann duet was "Reason to Believe" on "Badlands: A Tribute to Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska."
Staking your own reputation on apologism for the criminal finances around Trump's tryst with a porn actress might be a little cringey for a moment, but I'm sure this will be it. This will be the last hit you would need to take for him. So, it's probably worth it. Just this once.
Channeling the haunting beauty of ‘The Scarlet Tide’ to the sounds of cicadas and doggie yips 💀💀 We’ve harmonized this song countless times with @elviscostello and it was on my mind this morning when I picked up my weissenborn guitar.
Sorry to hear of the demise, after a long illness, of one of the greatest songwriters of my generation, Shane MacGowan. The Pogues reinvigorated folk music in the early 80s and his songs put the focus onto lyric writing, opening doors for the likes of myself and others.
Three-year-old: ”What’s this song’s name?”
Me: “‘Pump it Up’ by Elvis Costello”
Three-year-old: “I hate this song.”
Me: “You hate this song?”
Three-year-old: “I hate this song SO MUCH.”
Sad to receive the news of Terry Hall’s passing last night from Lynval Golding. Terry’s voice was the perfect instrument for the true and necessary songs on “The Specials”. That honesty is heard in so many of his songs in joy and sorrow. My condolences to his family and friends.
@TruesdellJYoung I think EC only recorded Eisenhower Blues because T Bone dared him, so I'm not too surprised he's never played it again. But I have no idea why he seems to have soured on Glitter Gulch, which I also love.
