TONIGHT!
Costello will also delve into his past tonight (April 17) as the inaugural guest in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame educational series about songwriting, “The Craft.” Historian and ex-Del Fuegos member Dr. Warren Zanes will interview Costello in Las Vegas for future broadcast on the Hall’s Web site at a future date.
Good grief! It’s not enough that Elvis Costello is reissuing his back catalog for the 17th time, that the 30th anniversary of the relatively boring My Aim Is True is being feted, that he’s going to be conducting an educational series on songwriting with Dr. Warren Zanes (Doctor, heal thyself!), but to top it all off, Elvis is going to be collaborating with Twyla Tharp. What’s left for the guy, getting into the action on those Andy Partridge/Robert Schneider/Robyn Hithcock telecollaborations? An excursion into world music? Joining Ratdog?
