Elvis Costello Fan Forum

45: Elton John 'Benny and The Jets', I think. My mom commenced a first-class rant when she thought the line was "She's got electric boobs" , started yelling about the dissolution of civilized society, and that a 10-year-old could get hold of such pornography portended the end of the world...

The first single I ever bought all by myself was Cher/Half Breed.
The first record album I ever got was the Alan Parsons Project/ I Robot as a gift.
The first record album I bought myself was Aerosmith/Dream On.

Mr. Misery,
Your discription of Sweet Pear was beautiful. You said everything I was feeling but couldn't express.
I love that song. It may not be my fav EC song, but I love the deep sentiment and passion it evokes.

Kojack Variety is the only EC record I have not heard.....and that's been bugging me! I have never seen this record anywhere except on e-bay. Is it hard to find? I liked The Juliet Letters. :) What I didn't like was For The Stars!! I couldn't make heads or tales of that and could not understand why ...

I really like that pic. Very cool.

I have several myself and I just love them so much!
(Of course everyone else thinks I'm a nut because I have a few framed Elvis pic.....they're loss!)

BLAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!

Here's a truth.......

I CAN'T TALK ABOUT THIS ANYMORE!!!!

Rope, I agree with what you're saying.... I'd just add...if one really believes...... no, not even believes....like with your example about the sun and the moon......those people honestly thought that it was a fact that the sun rotated around the earth. Their belief in that truth wasn't disingenuous...

But what if our perceptions are factually incorrect? It could be a truth to us, but in reality, it's something completely different.

Well, that's a problem.

I was drinking Makers at 16 yrs. old. That is my favorite bourbon. George Dickel is my fav whiskey. JD tastes too much like charcoal. My favorite liquor these days is Tarantula tequila, as cold as I can get. No chaser required, and no aftertaste like Cuevo. Wow Legman, sounds like you really know w...

well, i gotta say, i much prefer Joy Division or Cure. in fact, i did in those days too. BUT my friends didn't listen to it, i honestly didn't know anyone who did. i sat in front of MTV for hours hoping for an Adam Ant video.

Oh yes, Poppet, that was me too!

I really don't know any of you. I feel like I'm on the outside looking in... (Although "Alison" on the other thread made me feel like I wasn't the most unpopular member on this site. :( )....but I have to tell you guys, Rope, LTZ, Taz, Doof, Cope.... who posted on this topic, that it was v...

Foo Fighters are the coolest band EVER!
Great stuff.
Yeah baby, yeah!!


(No, no now......I love ELVIS. His bandmates I can take or leave.)

Oh Sulky, I so understand! I've got a good one for ya too. I never know WHAT to get my husband for Christmas or anything else. He's very hard to buy for. (And I'm a very thoughtful and meticulous person who puts alot of time and effort into my gifts!) So last Christmas I came upon 8th row center sea...

There are so many great cult movies out there. I was thinking about them in another way, like......series films (if that makes any sense). Like, The Planet of the Apes films and COLUMBO (I can't leave him out, I love that guy.) Star Trek.....you Trekkies Star Wars Trilogy There's all the Indiana Jon...

Ha' Penny, Thank you for saying this (about Dylan) because I didn't have the guts to. :) Bowie, no question. Springsteen is second. As for Mr. Zimmerman, at the risk of being banished from the board, his music never "hit me" like it has so many others. Don't get me wrong, I consider Dylan ...

Spooky, I think you've got an admirer. :wink: Me or the doofmeister? I'm a fellow non-lesbian lady merely wanting to compare notes..... :lol: Actually, I meant you, Plaything. I think I was inferring a little too much. :oops: I don't know any of you and aside from the obvious, I haven't really trie...

Sulky, you have one of those too?

Sulky, no way!

We all just saw Lilo and Stitch on DVD last night (saw it in the movies too)and everybody liked it. It was cute and amusing and surprisingly liked by a big age range....from 7yrs, 11, 14 (well, my son was playing gameboy the entire time but he didn't leave the room so I'll take that as a yes.) and m...

Spooky, I think you've got an admirer.

I've never heard anything from "The Rising" except the song "The Rising". I listen to an awful lot of FM radio, up and down the band, and on down the road. If the album is so good, why aren't they playing it? To make room for "Walk this Way" one more time? Now, when I ...

Fuckin-a.

I've given up worshipping the "porcelain god".
But before that, I'd have to agree w/Rope there.

Yeah, Bowie.
