I was watching a little late night Conan OBrian and Elvis Costello was one of the guest. I found out he is hosting a talk show "Spectacle" on the Sundance Chanel produced by Elton John. It's a show where he talks to other musicians. Times like these I wish we had cable TV. The 2nd guest was Madeline Albright, the former Secretary of State under Clinton. She had a book to promote but she sang a duet with Elvis at the end of her segment. What a great country where a former SOS will sing a duet with an angst filled new wave artist of my youth. They sang "Don't fence me in." Not the greatest song but it was entertaining to see these two sing together.

Costello and Albright did a duet. Costello sat on the couch and played guitar. Albright leaned in toward him and they sang Cole Porter's "Don't Fence Me In."
I don't know why, but they did. This wasn't a spontaneous thing. It was rehearsed. Bizarre.

Steve posts to listserv-
It's not that big a deal. He hypes Spectacle, debuting
December 3rd on the Sundance Channel, and talks about
how great it was to interview Smokey Robinson and then get
to sing harmony with him at the Apollo. You wouldn't get
EC playing that imposter, James Taylor, at a wedding! He's
interviewed both Smoke and JT but it was Smokey who almost
made his head fall off. He also said that he was on an
elevator with Allen Toussaint on election night when he
called Diana in Brazil and she gave him the news that
Obama was over 270 electoral votes, he was pres-elect.
She said they were all dancing on a bar in a saloon in
Sao Paulo.
