Ian MacDonald , music writer , is dead

One of the most readable of British music writers has died. I`ve only just been reading a collection of his writing - this is so sad. He wasn`t a big fan of Elvis - see his savage review of Painted From Memory here - http://www.elviscostello.info/articles/t-z/uncut.981101a.txt - but he was always wo...

Would it be the U.S. release date of the album , Tues. Sept 23 or some other day? The note`s language is vague, IMHO. So I e-...

Howard Tate now has his own site. Many here

album - which includes Either Side Of The Same Town ,
the song Elvis co-wrote for him - ; now you can at
