We couldn't resist. Elvis Costello played in town the last two nights. We almost held out. The tickets cost way too much. But in the end, who were we kidding?

Great stuff all the way through. A funny thing about Elvis is that he has at least fifteen to twenty songs that whenever I hear them, I think "This is in my top five". He played at least six or seven from that list last night, including "The Other Side Of Summer", "Almost Blue", and "I Hope You're Happy Now". And there were some nice surprises, like "I Wanna Be Loved", "Brilliant Mistake", and "Tonight The Bottle Let Me Down".
